Strip it off, sand it smooth and use car aerosol paint.

I bought a job lot of radios a couple of years back and many of them had been painted in hammerite. It looks bloody awful (despite the seller thinking it looked wonderful)

I haven't been in this section of the forum before today.

You can use most types of paint (water-based, acrylic, cellulose, 2-pack, enamel etc etc) on most surfaces, but giving the surface a good "key" and using the appropriate primer for the surface that you're painting on is half the battle.

However, if it's not done right then the paint can wrinkle or just flake and slowly start to fall off.

You can paint most things though so do a bit of research, watch a few Youtube videos, have a practice run on something to get used to the paint, spray patterns, how light or heavy to spray...
