I need to either touch up or redo the trim on a Philco 42-PT95 radio. The cabinet needs to be at the very least cleaned and retouched and/or parts of it stripped and redone. I have been doing some research in that area as well.

My question today is what to do about the trim.

A) What is the trim paint, water based or oil based.

B) Is there any "exact" match out there, or do I just try to match as best I can

C) Do I need to strip the old trim paint off before redoing and if so are there links to this proceedure.

Any suggestions would of course be appreciated.
