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?

    If you find any additional information please share it with the rest of us. I have a really yellowed AppleVision 850 in the project pile. It’s too big to redrobright and get an even result.

      Thank you, that is indeed helpful.

      I’ve found a local supplier that can mix Sikkens ON.00.78 for me, which looks to be close to that colour. I’ve been lightbrighting the plastic for a few days to see how that works out and consider my options.

      I’ll keep you posted.
