[Healeys] Restoring a control box cover

[C. Oudesluijs]

I always use 600-1200-2000-3000wet&dry followed by a good cleaner/wax. This may sometimes result in a typical mottled brown Bakerlite finish. If so and if you prefer a black finish use a leather dye or ink before waxing.

I’ve removed some of the yellowish brown patina with 0000 steel wool, and used some Mother’s Back to Black, but there’s more that needs to be done.  Seeking the wisdom of others as to the best process to restore the cover to its original semi-gloss black.  Is painting it the only way?  If so, how best to prep it?  Other options?
