[TenTec] Omni cabinet covering

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

James, please do that.
I think we all face this problem from time to time.

When I was a teenager, I used to buy broken receivers and transmitters at
the Hamfest flea markets, fix them and then repaint their cabinets.  I never
found a decent method to paint them.  They always looked good but were
over-sensitive to scratching.

I have a couple of old pieces of equipment now that I would like to repaint.

Tnx.

I am not sure.   Now that I have opened up the door, I may  have to 
close it by saying I don't know exactly what type of paint they used. 
I thought it was the type that looks shiny, crinkled, and hard.  I might 
have to post the other guys for details.   I have see photos of their 
results, and  the radios looked great, and the paint was supposedly
"tempered" that way.  I will ask around if there is interest in my doing
that.
