I tried a UV clear satin finish spray paint coating on my Amiga 4000 
after I had retrobrited it.

Looked good for awhile but after 6 months, it went yellow.

I've since retrobrited it again and this time used a car wax protectant 
to seal it. It too is now yellowing.

Must be something *IN* the plastic after all those years.

Now considering a satin finish spray white paint.

Yeah, it won't be original but is it original if it looks heavily 
yellowed or even brown?
