I purchased the dark and medium brown Krylon (flat and satin) so that I could choose what I think would work the best with the exterior finish I have. Sometimes on these radios the lacquer or finishes have absorbed tobacco smoke and other airborne stuff that used to be very common in typical households and this discolored the finishes and I think this is sometimes taken as "authentic". There was a heated discussion one time about the typical radios/consoles not having a "piano type" lacquer finishes and there are pictures that show some mid-high end Philcos with the piano finishes. I go with the Krylon flat/satin dark or medium brown and if someone gets too froggy about one of my radios, they always know where the door is.
