I've got an original Midway cocktail Ms. Pac man that I want to preserve while putting in a 60-1 board. I was able to acquire to blank control panels as linked below (they are identical).

Question 1: The textture is a little rough from where the yellow paint is peeling. What can I do to get this flat? Will regular sandpaper (say 60 grit) work on metal?
Question 2: What would be the proper black spray paint to get the typical black gloss seen on these CPs.
Question 3: The dimensions of my CP sure look like this, but the previous owner did not know where they came from. I love that artwork, but the Ebay seller hasn't responded to see if the dimensions matched mine. I tried the BYOAC forums without much luck either. I'd like to get a nice overlay for it!
Measurements from the top/left corner to the center holes:
Joystick - 3 1/8" right, 2 3/8" down (button measurements also provided so you can see how much room I have in this 9" CP)
Button 1 - 5 3/4" right, 2 1/2" down
Button 2 - 7 9/16" right, 2 1/2" down
P1 - 6 9/16" right, 13/16" down
P2 - 7 11/16" right, 13/16" down
Question 4: I was thinking of doing a keyed/hinged mod to the underside of the "new" CPs to allow one to "drop" the CPs to quickly do a joystick restrictor plate swap without having to open the whole cocktail cabinet. Has anyone ever attempted something like this before?
Thanks in advance!
