Linhof 70/Press 70 Yellowing of Paint Around Viewfinder

I recently purchased a Linhof 70 with the Zeiss trio. Although I am

very happy with the camera and the condition of everything, the tan

paint has a yellow/orange discoloration around the viewfinder

(obviously from skin contact). I know this is a common trait with

this camera, as I have noticed it on several Ebay photos over the

years. What is the best and safest method for cleaning this off? Or,

will it require repainting? I would be willing the have the panels

removed and sent to a paint shop for color matching and a

professional bake job....but I'd rather keep it original.

Anyone out there who has this camera and dealt with this problem

before?
