THANK YOU for this great tip! After reading your post, I visited one of my local Wal-Marts (we have two in Evansville) and sure enough, they had the Krylon satin nickel paint!

I had tried a satin silver finish made by Valspar and purchased from Lowes previously, but I do like this satin nickel better. Besides, I feel the Krylon aerosols spray better than other paint brands.

I have begun painting what will become my Super 89 chassis with satin nickel after having primed it this past winter, at the same time I primed and painted my Super 71 chassis.

And you're right - so far, it looks VERY authentic to the color of Philco chassis made from about 1935 and later.

Will post photos later.
