I'm looking to touch up an invaders bezel, you can see the machine and one of the areas in question in the photos.

What's the best type of paint to use for these? This is backlit so trying to minimise the look of the repair. Also how best to try and paint match/mix?

Thanks

I have been looking to repair a pinball backglass, so It would be much the same principle.

Using Liquitex Soft Acrylic paint

Airbrush Medium Opaque

Mask off area,clean off flaking paint, spray on thin layers.

Plenty of tips on the web..

Good luck.

Yeah, been looking online and the YouTube vids, was just trying to check if others had personal experience in restoring these and good paint manufactures that are here in the U.K. rather than the States.

May need to practice somewhat with an airbrush first.
