    Going to add to this:

    Home Depot sells a spray enamel - "Winter Gray" - which is supposedly an exact match (or very close) to the cabinet paint which Yaesu used on such things as the FT-101, FR-101 and FL-101 cabinets, the YO-100/101 and SP-101 cabinets and so forth.

    All of mine need a repaint, though not terribly so. I'm going to get one can of this paint and do the SP-101 cabinet first, comparing the results to OEM.

    There's also a duplicate for Drake cabinet paint - SEM 15303 Graphite - which closely matches color and texture of the original Drake "sticky" paint as used on the 7-line cabinets.
