40-201, more starter questions: escutcheon material, etc
#5

Hi Cat,
For these type of metal escutcheons, I found that Valspar/Plasti Kote 139S Odds `N' Ends Spray Enamel , comes in a small can, just about matches the original paint. It is not bright gold as some paints are, so it is toned down.

You can find the stuff at most all home and big box stores.

Looking at your escutcheon, it doesn't look that bad in the photo, so it might not need a paint job.

On these models, there is lettering that must be filled after painting. Perhaps some kind of water based paint to fill, then wipe off excess leaving the paint embedded in the letters.

Good luck,
Gary.
