I then masked off the glass portion to the tube. One more cleaning with acetone and then 2 coats of Rust-Oleum Black BBQ paint. When dry then 2 coats of Satin Clear Enamel. This CRT looks good!
I then recreated the labels using my CAD program. Saved them as pdf's and a trip to the copy place gave me some nice red labels on light card stock. After I trimmed them to size, I used some spray contact glue and fixed them into place. Not exact duplicates but very close.

Hope the HV connector gets good contact with that new paint.
I have a bakelite Admiral just like the one in the background on top of my Zenith porthole...Some of those Admirals (mine included) had one of Admiral's first LP changers.
