[Jukebox-list]Seeburg LPC others textured paint, was Degrees of restoration

[Britt Abbott]

You can get krinkle paint from Antique Electronic Supply (www.tubesandmore.com). I collect old radios including Atwater Kent. AK had horn speakers and metal cabinet radios that had brown wrinkle/krinkle paint. Although you can try to get that finish yourself using multiple paint coats with mixed results, I'd suggest you buy the paint system from Antique Electronic Supply.
