I painted this radio in a non-original color that I picked out just because I liked it. The original off-white color was too marked up and disgusting to display. I probably won't do anything like that again because it turns out that since I've gotten older, I am much less tolerant of the smell of spray paint than I used to be. It's also more work than I figured on LOL.
