Default Re: Bakelite advice requested

I have a 332 Bakelite telephone made up of parts from various sources that was covered in different paints. After cleaning and scraping it all off the surface was matt, scratched and no longer completely black. The Bakelite polish* sold by the Radiophile made it shiny but did not restore the black colour. Black shoe polish did the trick.

*although a plain white tube I presume this is also Greygate’s.
