What I mean is under the paint, not the interior. They didn't spray
RFI in them until about 1980, or about the ][+ era as you mention.

But the base coat on the paint, no RFI was on the outside, only
inside. I have seen some of these things seriously worn down to where
you had a ring of a lighter color and the darker material underneath.
Thats definitely the painted ones.

I have actual cases unpainted for a few of the products of that time
frame and a //e case thats marked "1st try out" and you can see
imperfections in the injection mold flowing that are marked.

One of these days.. that will all get pictured better. There's some
stuff on here:

The dark case is not a Darth Vader ][ - it' an unpainted one. It's got
some imperfections and it's warped a little, too.

The can of paint I put forth earlier, was with that case. The
manufacture of that paint is still there in L.A., too. The numbers can
be used to make the same stuff - and at other vendors/sources too. I
got some wall paint made at Wally World once too, to paint an
AppleWrap desk, using those numbers and a sample spray.
