Hey MF,

Alas, still not a sure thing, as any retro nerd that uses/repairs old plastic from that era will attest. I have ripped many a label off old computers, etc, and the effect is still there. Only looking at old photographs showed what the true colour was. Even computers that were taken out of sealed boxes still had the same issue, only lesser, due to the fire retardant they used in those plastics back then.

That being said, I am certainly not a colour nazi, so by all means, paint it whatever colour you choose. I have seen some doozy fights amongst people over what the 'proper' colour was of something, and it ain't pretty!

Not like that gold paint job you have there mate.
