I ended up using Rust-oleum speciality metallic brass spray paint. It definitely looks better than the raw brass did - especially with the repro. pushbuttons. I've also been experimenting with forming plastic dial covers using wooden molds in the oven. It's working better than I had expected Icon_smile

Thanks for all the tips!
