How do you guys feel about repainting all or part of a classic? What if "retr0bright" doesn't do the trick on a particular area/unit ?

For me, if I was restoring a unit for my personal use, I'd do the lids, chassis...but never the bezel, or never where the metallic stickers (or other such stickers are. I prefer not to paint over a classic, but if restoring for authentic looks, I am sure it's had to have been done.

No reason other than general chit chat.:pint:

I painted an A500 that was horribly yellowed about 10 years ago before Retrobrite was around and it came out great.  The trick is to take your time and add 2 good coats of plastic paint and make sure to remove all labels/stickers before hand.
