Hi Dave,
Fortunately the speckeled finish on the vacuum formed plastic crt bezel was in fine shape. Just needed to be cleaned to remove the cigarette smoke.
The control door was sent out to be replated copper, nickel, brass, along with the two side coloumns. The center area of the control door is accented with a coat of metalic gold spray paint and then coated with clear spray enamel to gloss it out. I used masking tape to mask off the areas of the door that were not to be painted. Lastly I took a very tiny artist brush and painted the raised letters MOTOROLA with black Testors enamel from the hobby shop.
There are also accent areas on both coloumns that are painted in the same manor as the gold accent on the control door.
