Hi all,

I'm new to the board. I recently picked up a good condition Missile Command that needs mostly cosmetic work to bring it up to snuff for my soon-to-be game room.

For the most part I can see how the restoration will go. One area I'm unsure of is the lower part of the control panel, which is missing paint right where you'd expect lots of wear from players' palms and wrists (see pics, sorry for the low quality).

I don't think I need a new CP overlay, but I'm not sure how to handle these spots. Is there a preferred paint to use for this? Is it just black enamel? something else? Just mask it off and spray? Feather it in with a brush?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

"takeman" is acutally making Missile Command reproduction control panels
with the art silkscreened on. Not sure if he has any left or not. Might want to
check with him.

Black is a tricky color to match perfectly. Best bet is probably black semigloss
spray paint in light coats until you get the same color/sheen as the surrounding paint. I doubt you'll be able to match the texture however.
 
Thanks Malice. That looks like a good option if I'm unable to get it looking decent with paint.
