I have not attempted painting bakelite tortoise shell but I did paint a concrete plinth for my Garrard 301 to look like granite. I followed the techniques in Jocasta Innes' book "Paint Magic". I was delighted in the results, it genuinely looked like granite.
It may be worth looking at "Paint Magic", copies are available for about a fiver.
