Help Identify My New Zenith

[TinCanAlley]

I got my hands on a Minwax mahogany stain scratch cover up stick. As long as you don't get too close or shine a light directly on the surface, you'll hardly notice if at all. My next step is to get all the off white color cards from Lowes and see if I can find a white the matches close enough. Can't exactly take the set to them for color matching.

Before you paint, look at the retrobrite project - they use chemicals to brighten yellowed plastics:

I'm happy with the results on an old RCA plastic radio from the 70's. Best use of peroxide since gold recovery.....

Cheers,

Cheers,

I was only planning on painting the chipped areas of the paint. Wasn't planning on painting the plastic stand. I do like the site you gave. I'm going to make the paste and test it on the back side of the stand and see how it works. If it works well, I'll make enough to cover the entire stand. And to think I was trying to figure out how to submerge the darn thing and how much that would cost. Glad to find a formula that makes a gel. Should cost about $40 to make.

Thanks!
