2 cans does a console easy. probably 1 can. goes on well.<P>------------------<BR>Thanks,<BR>Eddie Brimer

I have found if you just need to touch up, Dyekem blue layout dye is a perfect match and it comes in a little plastic container with a brush. This should be done preferably outside, it drys quickly but has a strong odor. It is designed to be used on steel to scribe lines etc. and is available at hardware stores.<P>------------------<BR>

I hope this goes to the top this time.<BR>Has anyone found Eddie's spray paint??<P>------------------<BR>

Take a good look at your Zenith cabinets. Where ever the bluing was splashed or dripped it bleeds out like crazy. It is a thin dye, they were never painted on the inside. The best match is Dykem layout dye either in the spray or bottle. It drys to a satin finish and even when touching up you can not see any difference.<P>------------------<BR>

Jconley Mine need total repaint .<BR>I have never seen or heard of that dye around here . <BR>I have not found the paint yet either <P>------------------<BR>

It also comes in spray cans. The spray cans do a better job because Zenith never put it on very heavy. I have a 1937 Zenith chairside that was a original painted set. When I stripped it to refinish, there was a big blue stain on the top and the dye had run all down the side. It was in deep and not just on the surface like paint. Zenith used the cabinets with blemishes for their painted sets. I have refinished 3 or four painted sets and upon stripping them always found major defects. They probably set the seconds aside and waited for someone to order a painted on. If you can't find some blue spray dye, e-mail me and I will send you some at cost.

Anyone find a product recently that works? I think the spray paint has been discontinued or not in any of my local stores.

Went to Menards and had them mix me some deep blue stain...works great

I had bought the "Dyekem blue layout dye" at Graingers a few years back and it is a perfect match.

It is very thin so be very careful that it doesn't get through the holes in the front of the cabinet and drip down the wood...you will never get it off.

Thanks!!

I found Krylon 3501 Navy Blue Satin works well for a good match if you want to go the spray can way...

I looked for that paint but the satin finish it seems has been discontinued, have you seen it around somewhere lately?

The can I have is about 3 years old, bought it from Ace Hardware. The next time I go in there I'll see if they still have it or yes it may have been discontinued...
