For myself, I use Sherwin Williams. ?You need a small sample of the color. ?Roughly an inch and a half square and they will match it exactly. ?They will mix an industrial enamel in batches as small as a quart and can supply it as gloss, semi-gloss, satin, or flat. ?I have produced absolutely invisible small spot touch ups. ?I would think there would be an equivalent supplier in the UK.

Subject: Re: [hp_agilent_equipment] HP 60’s Front Panel Color
Hi, I'm not sure there is an exact match in the RAL pallet. The nearest I have found for instruments of that vintage is RAL7042. That looks ok for panels that I wanted to 'tone in' with the HP equipment but it is probably not close enough to invisibly touch-up parts of an existing original panel. I have not explored it yet, but I gather there are now companies around who will colour (or color!) match from a sample and then mix an exact match for you. Some will do this in modest volume and for a reasonable cost, or so I am told!

Can some please share with me the paint code used by HP for front panels in the 60’s? ?I have a very early 410C I’m trying to redo. ?The color is more dark than the RAL7044 used on the later 410C meters.
