Has anyone ever experimented with ways to patch the flaking black on the McIntosh glass? It seems like there'd be a way to paint the holes to look close for those of us who want to salvage the original.
...If I screw it up I can STILL buy a new face plate from McIntosh.
I flick it off, removing all loose black.....ragged edges seem to work out OK.
According to our rep years ago the green and then gold screened layers are a fish oil based paint.
A grey discoloration I think indicates lifting paint.
It does it at the top rail also......
I also clean the now clear glass with a qtip and alcohol, it is amazing the surface tension a little speck left behind creates.
I buy small cans of rustoleum gloss black as Terry suggested and trowel it on with a flat bladed screw driver. I put it on thick to minimize tiny bubbles. It has worked for me but your results may differ.
