Hello,
I recently found a old cabinet side and marquee for a Joust machine:
I really love the the cabinet art on this machine and I'd love to clean it up and display it in my house. My first question is what type of paint was originally used on these older cabinets? I see then people use all different types of paint when re-steciling these but I could't find any information on what type of paint was originally used. I obviously don't want to use a cleaning solution that would dissolve the paint.
My second question is regarding the paint curling on the cabinet:
I was thinking that I would like to use some type of sealant on the piece after cleaning to prevent further peeling. However, I do not know if I would need to remove any peeled paint that is already on the piece before hand or of perhaps it is better not not use any sealant.
Regarding the marquee there seems to be a large amount of "gunk" covering it:
Again, I'd like to clean it up but I don't want to use any cleaning solutions that may destroy the plastic or the printing. I would really appreciate any insight you all could provide.
Thanks!
