Philco 46-250-I code 122 restoration
#3

I have made some progress on this.  I found some Rustoleum 2x Spray Paint in Gloss Ivory that seems pretty close.  Lightly sanded the existing paint trying also to smooth out the edges where the paint had chipped off.  It went on pretty well.  I did three relatively light coats, let it dry 48 hours and then put on the decal and some clear Deft gloss lacquer.  Ooopps.  I did do a test to see if the paint and lacquer were compatible and they looked ok on a block of wood but when I lacquered the cabinet it developed some wrinkling on the grill section.  I could strip it all off and start over but I tried sanding down the wrinkly sections and repainting with the gloss Ivory.  I covered the rest of the cabinet to avoid overspray.  I think it will be good enough... I should probably have used the Rustoleum 2x clear gloss product. I was using it mainly to put some protection over the decal.

I'll post a final image when its all together and the chassis and dial scale are all reinstalled.
