The gray CoCo 1 finish is spray paint over a black molded base, typically
when a CoCo 1 is well used the gray paint will start rubbing off on the
front keyboard edges, just where the user5's hands would continuously rest
while using the computer. These cases have to be repainted to bring them
back to restored condition - I do recall some early discussions on this
calling for a Mercedes Silver Gray spray paint usually found at automotive
accessories outlets.
