A600 spray job

Hi,

Finally now able to get round to looking at the dirty A600, that has now cloned itself in to 2 A600's . The second one is cleaner and almost perfect original colour, but I want to spray the hideously yellowed one.
What is the best brand and colour of spray to use, to get the best match to original A600 colour?

Will be adding some hardware pr0n and making this in to a photo record of spraying and some case hackery in due course...

Thanks!

Don't really have the space/kit for retr0bright... I did try it small scale on some keys but didn't have a lot of luck with it.

Want to spray this time

Also considering spraying it black, and vinyl dying the keys. Would either of these spray paints be suitable?

Flexible vinyl paint

Bumper paint

I have no experience of those spray paints, but I suggest you have a look at these threads for some guidance:
