Roddenberry Tricorder MK IX paint repair help

[Randalleschker]

So long story short I recently got a Mk IX Roddenberry Tricorder and it has some paint chip and scratches in one spot does anybody have an exact match to the paint on it or is anybody willing to color match and paint it for me? (i can pay of course)

Is that the officially licensed die cast metal replicas?
If it is anything like the EFX/MR replica then the paint colour isn't an exact match for the Plasticote 7173 colour that was used on the actual props for the show.

It's the die cast one from Roddenberry that I believe was more color accurate. Is there a modern day equivalent to 7173? It looks like it's been discontinued for some time.

You could get it custom mixed at an automotive shop.

Has anyone had luck repairing the two lights on the bottom door section of these Tricorders? Mine stopped working unfortunately

The closest color code I've been able to find is WA8311. See here for a comparison between it and vintage 7173.

Nobosy it sells it, you'd have to take it to an automotive paint shop and get some mixed.

i actually repaired it you have to pop the emrg panel off and unscrew the back and get inside and run a new wire through the hinge then splice it in
