Subject:West Interior "Shelf"
From:Jon Kanas

Greetings fellow listers,

Making progress on the repaint effort on the '87.  Until I gutted the
interior, I had forgotten how many holes the previous owner had drilled
through the formica facing on the small, long shelf on which the light
over the sink / stove mounts (metal tray on the top, light, curtain rail
on the bottom).  Color needed is gray.  I'm wondering if anyone on the
list might have one of these units in good to excellent condition out of
a parts van that they would be willing to sell and ship to Colorado.

My alternative is to repair or reface the unit I have.  I'm thinking to
find formica or similar material which is a good color match, remove and
replace the current facing.    This looks like it could turn into a
nasty project if not approached right.
     Has anyone on the list done anything like this?
     If yes, I'd appreciate some knowledge transfer from you.
     If yes, and you have a "color code" for the formica, I'd appreciate
that, too.
     If no, but you've done something else to repair / reface the
formica-like material that was successful, I'd love to know about it.
