I painted a really bad TR-6 chasis[ Is there anything left that is sacred? :) ] with aluminum (not silver) 2 part epoxy paint. With the top cover back on it looked very much like the chasis of a TR-4C without tube numbers. I was pleased with it. It looked better than before. I did not paint over the serial number.
