I think gloss oil will be best. Harder wearing and won't stick your dustcovers as acrylic may.
Cheers

G'day Strungout,
If you do choose to paint [your choice] then don't use ordinary Acrylic - anything will stick to it if left for any period of time. I believe some of the newer Acrylic enamels may work if this is the way you want to go.
Regards,
Bob
