Update time... I had trouble deciding what color to use on the carved front. I ended up going with one light coat of perfect brown. Just enough to bring out the grain, even things up and not darken it too much. Here is the radio after shooting the front panel with perfect brown Mohawk.
All taped up and ready for the second color. I don't know if this is how Philco did it. If so, I hope the guy who had to tape these everyday of his life was well compensated. I usually use Frog Tape, but 3M Scotch's has some new fangled super sticky edge tape.. and I decided to give it a whirl..hope it works out!
