Here's a few links to cleaning/painting a chassis:

For a newer Philco like a 40-190, I think the Krylon satin nickel would look very good.

I've painted a few Philco chassis with the stuff, such as a customized 89 (the "Super" 89 I have spoken of on here before), a 630, and a bare 97 chassis waiting for me to populate it with parts and wiring. I really like how they turned out.

Oh, and I also found that Krylon also makes a satin black spray paint...it looks great on those old power transformers, filter chokes, and other parts that were originally satin black in color.

Whatever you do, don't use that gaudy aluminum paint...yuck.
