I seem to remember a thread on this, but can't seem to find it (maybe lost on the old forum)
Has anyone done this and can they give me some idiot proof guidance of how to do it in terms of cleaning, prep, what type of paint, lacquer etc.
I want to acheive as close as possible to the original B&O black. Currently they're the most disgustiing shade of "mustard that's been left with the lid off"!
Cheers

I would be interested also - I have a mustard Beolit 707 that is faded - I had thought of Metlic Purple or Blue would be different.
Location: United Kingdom
My B&O Icons:
Well I have a spare red cover that has a hole drilled into the side by a previous owner so he could fit a thumbwheel to tune it after the string broke
One of you is welcome to have it for free to test the results. Just PM me an address & I'll pop it in the post.
However, I personally wouldn't want to buy a painted Beolit so only do it if you intend to keep it. You could always ebay it and buy another in the colour of you choice or buy a broken/tatty one with good panels then swap the panels over and resell again.
Incidently the FM only model's side panels won't fit the AM/MW/FM models

What you need is Nextel paint - as used by a well known Danish manufacturer on some models.
Hi Nick
