If you find a source post it please.  I too have a CDC version that has horrible paint issues.

I found a guy. I requested pricing.

The more we send him the lower the unit price.

I'll relay via PM what I find out.

We will need perfect art work, that is, a photo of a near perfect panel with the knobs off.

Actually we really just need a re-paint.

Decals are available here (without the CDC) :  http://www.radiodaze.com/dcl-efj-vkii/

If anyone knows the original color formulas I think it would be easier to a a re-paint & re-decal & far less expensive than a silk screen job.

I've been  searching  the web & so far cannot find the original paint formulas.

There is someone that does the non CDC versions with a vinyl overlay... looks OK but the colors are not original and it is pretty obvious when in place.... 

Finding someone with a really clean Viking II could provide a clean picture and then some artist type could fill in the rest (CDC) or (CD)? Mine is only CD.

I would be willing to pay for silk screen but haven't found someone to do it.

I have to ask: In this context, what does CDC stand for?
