Not too many cold beers otherwise it might come out like Joan Crawford's eyebrows.
I have a heart-breaker of a machine here Glenn. I can bring back the paint finish but if I do, the decals are gone. They seem to be suspended in the varnish top coat. (varnish-decal-varnish) And the topcoat varnish is alligator-ed and so severely yellowed, that it would be better if I took it down to good paint with no decals and either airbrushed them on or made decals and re-varnished them back into the machine. I can't decide. Your "paint by numbers" would work here but the decals will be long gone.
