Hi, this is my frst post on here so fingers crossed for a result! I've aquired a Bush TR82C is working very well but has suffered such extreme yellowing from UV over its 50-60 yrs that its actually become very brown. It doesnt clean off and even t-cut doesnt penetrate deep enough so Ive decided that the best thing to do is to re paint it. I dont know what colour would be fairly close to the original, I've looked at RAL 1013 oyster white but I just wondered if anyone else has previously had any sucess (or otherwise) in choice of paint colour/brand with this job?
