paint it, seal it. some people use a product called "triple thick". a search should turn up more info.
 
I'm thinking that's Space War/Space Wars.
 
That does look like the upper marquee from Space War.

My lower marquee has some damage. I took it to an airbrush artist and he painted it but the result made the text appear yellow when backlit. So I had to remove his paint.

I touched it up with white. From the front it looks fine but when backlit it doesn't look right.

The best solution would be to scan it and print a new one. I'm thinking about doing this. It's tricky though because the plexi is also curved.
