I was going to spray paint grille as I believe that was the original process GE used.. Of course that would require careful masking.. The grille is cloth on cardboard, glued in place, little chance it would live through removal.. Truth is the Sharpie was a test to see how it'd look, my P807J has green area in it's grille.. Whatever process GE used the coating is subject to discoloration..

BTW, the grilles were same for for P807A(Black) & P808A(white), but there are apparently versions with the simulated cloth used on later versions... A, B & C used the brass nut to retain dial scale, beginning with E, tuner has a flat shaft so dial scale slides on...

Here's my original P808E, was still in styrofoam clamshell packing when I bought it from ebay almost 20 years ago..
