Default Re: Bush TR82C Repaint

Here is one I restored and painted some time ago , I was a brown and cream juk, not to every ones taste but I like it , if you want to make a good job of it there is a lot of work involved , you will have to remove the dial .some come off no trouble ,some you have to apply a little heat to loosen the glue ,and the lettering of course, the case needs to be washed to remove all traces of polish etc ,plastic primed ,and then the finish to the colour you choose , I would recommend Plastikote as some solvent based paints may react with the the plastic.I also dyed the sides which were brown using a shoe dye a dark blue was chosen for this good luck.
