  A very good point, Frank.
 
  This discussion thread gets me to wondering:  Why did Streetly finish the original 400s in white in the first place?  Was it simply to make them stand out from the other instruments on a stage?  Any thoughts, Martin?

Yes, but I would recommend polishing it with auto body polishing compound first, to get the oxidation and grime out of the paint.

One idea that could help is to remove a cheek block and check the paint on the side.  It may be untouched (no tobacco smoke haze), and a matching computer at the paint store may be able to scan & duplicate it.
