I used my working/nice condition desk radio to lay some practice patterns on last week..

Picked it up for $4, disassembled/ sanded/ & primed it.. Metallic Silver basecoat with pearl orange, candy brandywine, and gold patterns under the candy Magenta topcoat..

The simple patterns before the candy magenta..

Professional looking job, If I'd done that I'd be chuffed. Congrats
