I've only worked on two sets with a photo finish and both of those were not Philcos and I stripped it off in both cases. In the case of the 1942 Zenith 6D2615 the stripped finish was only a small section and I left it as simply toned and laquered. The other was a band around the top of a console set where I used the Steward Schooley approach to replace it.
Cheers,
Bob
