Hello folks,

I have a two AK 35 in my workshop awaiting restoration. They are in a fairly good condition.

The question I have is related to the paint these ones had.

The thing is that mine, and I think all the ones I have ever seen on internet, have the paint deteriorated and crackled.

Like this:

 

So the question is... the original paint was all solid and flat? Or did it come with some sort of crackle that with time deteriorated?

OR... is it that being a metal case, with the temprature changes, the case caused forces that eventually broke the layer of bright finish?

A couple more pics of details:

These last two, show that there is still some crackle, but without the top layer being deteriorated..

All in all, any ideas of how I should process the cabinet will be appreciated.

REGARDS!
