Philco 645K Refinish
#9

Can Graphics: Print the graphics on clear adhesive label, apply the label, then spray clear acrylic to mask and secure the edges of the label. It only looks good if the edges of the graphic label coincide with existing edges. The shadow meter graphics were done the same way.

Morz: I agree 100% that the dark finish doesn't look right. I tried two finishes showing the wood grain (the authentic finish), and a lighter opaque brown. They all looked worse to me. But the deciding factor was that I can refinish it authentically whenever that's desired, so nothing is lost.
