I’ve recently acquired an Apple Macintosh Color Display. Sadly, it’s very yellowed (or rather, oranged). I was thinking about forgoing retrobrighting and just going for painting it. Anybody here who’s done that before? Any idea how I can most closely match Apple’s “platinum” colour?

    I would try to retrobright it and if you are not happy with the result, you can still paint it. You can also try to sunbright it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8P1OVj0IcqY

    Painting it requires sanding, a lot if masking and wears off over time if the device is in use. And it’s irreversible. Once the damage is done, theres no way back.
