Congrats on the radio, Paul! I usually start with sandpaper, sanding with various grits getting finer each time, to get most of the old original paint off. Once it's nice and smooth, I spray it with a light grey primer. Then wet sand it, and spray with enamel paint. It takes longer to dry, but the enamel paint is more durable and more concealing than lacquer, IMO. Neither of those radios are clear coated. Just the enamel paint finish.
