CoCo 1 paint color

[cbmeeks]

So I just won a 16k CoCo 1 off eBay.

The seller had already painted the case white to match the model 2 and 3.

 

Since the no-no has already been done, I thought there would be no harm in painting it again. But I want it back to the original gray color.

 

Any ideas on what paint color I should use? Also, do you recommend a flat clear coat too to prevent oils from my hand changing the paint color over time?

Before you do that, do you have any pics of the system? Some late production CoCo 1s actually were white like the CoCo 2, but they're pretty uncommon. And IIRC they were 64K anyway.

 

Or did the seller explicitly state that s/he painted it?

I havent received the computer yet.

 

But the seller did say he buffed out scratches and painted.
