So, I'm currently anxiously awaiting my mario cpo to come in the mail. (fingers crossed for today) I recently acquired a decent mario bros in a trade that just needs a little tlc to be a nice game, the cpo is flaking and the bare metal is rusted in spots. Any suggestions on what I need to do to get it ready for the new cpo? Im gonna sand the rust spots, but as far as I know, I shouldnt be painting this thing since the cpo covers the whole thing...
Also, there appears to be some flaking on the front panel of wood, possibly caused by water damage. You can pull a thin layer of wood and paint off. If I pull off the excess and sand it, think that'll take care of it and make it alright for repaint?
