Default The Paint I Use For Respraying Roberts Badges

Roberts radios from the late '50's to the early '70's use a plastic badge that was painted silver. Over time the paint sheds to reveal the yellow plastic of the badge.

I respray the logos with 'Painter's Touch' in metallic silver. You don't need a great deal of paint as you don't want the crevices of the badge to fill with paint.

I've done this with a Roberts R500 and R700. I am happy with the results!
