I've started refurbishing a wooden RCA 40x52 and had to strip paint. in doing this I've ran into 4 layers. the bottom layer, before I hit wood, is a cream color and the next layer is red. does anybody now what color this model came in? I'm not sure if the bottom layer is primer and it was sold red or if the bottom layer is the original paint.
Thanks for your help,
Bill
