This paint job looks terrible. That or this phone has been oiled down (and painted also) to give it that nice Muscle Beach shinny toned body look....Ugh... If this is yours or someone you know, just one fellas opinion. You'll have to deal with it ;) :P

Yes sorry, gonna hurt my own feelings :P ??? :o ;D Fixed the pics and links
Well, seller's name is renaissanceman---i.e. jack of all trades---and master of none (not painting in any case)
Looks worse than the paintwork on my shed... (http://www.recycleabicycle.co.uk/pics/smilies/floorroll.gif)

What this really reminds me of is what one or more coats of Future Floor Wax looks like when applied to a relatively smooth but imperfect surface with a cotton rag.
It is metal, seems so by dates and photos, so it could be refinished, but not for that price.
What did he use to paint it - car undercoating?
This is probably how my first paint job on a vintage telephone would be! :P
Looks to me like it was just a normally worn metal phone that they cleaned and applied a shiny coat of wax or something. Overdone, overpriced.
