Good question Rod. For me, taping off the front and top was easier than trying to tape the sides on this radio because of the 1/8 in step up from the side piece to the front and top. I have gone on and added the black lacquer. I'm using Deft gloss clear and Rustoleum Black Gloss Lacquer. So far they seem compatible.
Next, I'll add a few more clear coats to everything, let it cure for a week or so and then rub out the finish to knock the gloss back a bit. The set had some rubber feet that were nailed onto it but which had deteriorated. I think these were original but can't be certain. Usually I just put a felt "stick on" at each corner but found these small rubber feet that screw on and look similar to what was there.
