Help Philco 37-84 paint restore
#4

Hi Carlos and welcome to the Phourm!!
Well if you have a lot of patients and are good with colors or know someone that is it's doable. I did a 37-84 a number of years ago. Mix up a few shades of brown. One that favors the red one that favor the yellow and one that is almost black. You will need some yellow to match the stripes. Apply paint as needed with whatever gives you the best results. This maybe a fine brush for the pin stripe to putting some brown on a crumpled plastic bag to give a non repeating pattern with the different shades of brown. Would definitely practice on a scrap of wood or a paper plate till you get some colors and patterns that you like. Once you apply all of the colors let dry and then cover with clear lacquer.
Easy right!! http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread...hotofinish
