I guess you hand painted those John ?
Here's a radio (Beethoven) that I masked off and sprayed the lines. It looks like a satin cream, certainly not white. I always find that on close inspection the lines never look completely uniform hand painted by me. Even the circles on the knobs were done this way.. Masking off need not be super accurate as excess can be polished off with a polish (Solvol Autosol for me) and a lint free cloth (well washed old hankies) over a block of wood. One day I will do an article for this radio. It was given to me and really was in beautiful condition, apart from dirt etc and lots of new caps.
