My sentiments exactly. To respray a radio to recreate its original finish is perfectly acceptable, but I would still pay less for one. To paint one to disguise a rubbish/repaired cabinet or just for fun is okay (I suppose) but I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole - and to pass it off as something else is stricly verboten.
