Yeah, there is going to be some difficulty matching the pebbled paint on the
/34 front panel. I had one place that almost was going to do it for me then
backed out when they found out it was just that one part. I personally
would recommend sandblasting it first then repainting, in case there's any
latent rust (don't see why there should be, but whatever)
Just my two cents.

Jay, that's a great looking system! Did you
use any of the
pieces/parts you got from me on that system?
Humm I don't recall you sending
me any parts for the /34. I
know you sent me a few cabinet parts and few memory boards to
help with my /45 though. I'm probably forgetting something
and I apologize if so!
... but I just need to clean up the side panels
and touch
up the legs,
clean up the black cover panels, etc.
I
was going to take a RL02 front panel or dec corp cab filler
panel in to a hardware store and have them match the paint
color exactly, and get a small can of the correct mix. Or
does an industry standard color coding system exist, and
these magic numbers are known by a listmember so I can just
get the color already? I would really like to get an exact
match for the "white"
on the front of the /34 & RL02, the "grey" on the H960 side
panel, and the "black" on the H960 anti-tip feet. Not just
the right color but the right type of paint and finish.
