If you want to come up w/something that is easy and will give you some contrasting colors like the original (no stripes unless you want to hand paint them in) this may be of some help. Prep the front panel cln off the paint and such lightly sand and use a few coats of sanding sealer. Grab a few plastic grocery bags wad up one, apply a little med walnut toner to it. Tamp it once onto the panel. Do this a couple of times. You want to move around so you don't get an area of solid color. Next use something dark like ex dark walnut, new bag same process. It take a bit of practice not to get too much color in one area. If you do you can spray over it w/ the light toner that you are using at that time.
