I've an original Lucas control box cover in need of restoration.  I've
removed some of the yellowish brown patina with 0000 steel wool, and used
some Mother's Back to Black, but there's more that needs to be done.
Seeking the wisdom of others as to the best process to restore the cover to
its original semi-gloss black.  Is painting it the only way?  If so, how
best to prep it?  Other options?

 

Thanks.
