This is one that I painted. It is a white satin finish. I am about to paint
one an ivory white. Are you going to use a gun or spray cans? This was
painted with a gun.

Thanks Tony. I thought the Crim trons were white. At least they are in the
pictures from the booklet of the 73-74 live box set.

Any other advice on glossy/satin and white/off-white? Somebody out there
must know, right?

Considering that at some point, my Mellotron was painted with a brush with
white latex house paint, I'm sure I won't have trouble bettering it's
appearance.
