The Realistic TRC-490 I have has a scuffed and lightly scratched casing.
To re-finish this surface would make the radio look like new again.
Anyone have experience of this? I want to keep the same or similar finish.
Were these casings originally painted, or powder coated? Should I sand it back and prime with undercoat, as you would respraying a car panel? I hear sanding powder coat isn't a good idea.
I've seen other things painted with aerosol enamel paint, and it comes off in flakes on your hands!
If this is successful, I plan to do the same to a couple of other radios. The Navaho is the least valuable, and more easily replaced.
