(Not so) shocking news!

For a long time, I thought my Robotron cab was something special. It didn't look like the US version with all silver sides, and it sure didn't look like the UK Robotrons.


Still, there was this feeling in the back of my head that everything wasn't like it was supposed to. And now I got it confirmed. My cab is indeed a standard US model, and the operator has just sprayed the sides black!
He even took the time to mask out the areas which he wanted to keep (2084), but there are traces of his somewhat sloppy job all over the cabinet.

I started removing some of the black paint on the sides, and found the common silver underneath.



I guess that means I will strip the whole cabinet and repaint it, with stencils and all. But how glossy are the black parts supposed to be? And what is the colour code of the silver?

I guess I'll get to that later. First of all, I want to get this baby up and running!
