I just got started here, and picked up a Ms Pac man this week for a sweet price. She runs great, but definitely needs some cosmetic work. I was hoping to pick some brains and see what the preferences are.
I would like to fill in some chipped areas of the cabinet. It is mostly along the bottom and back. I am lucky that the front edge has only paint rub from people holding onto the cabinet during play. The seller suggested using sawdust mixed with Elmer's wood glue and formulating my own wood paste. A local rebuilder said to get wood putty from Ace Harware. I have also read about people using Bondo. Thoughts or experience?
For the finished product, which will obviously be a while, I want to keep it as authentic as reasonably possible. I do not own a paint gun or have a spray booth. There is enough artwork left that I could touch it up, however some of the paint is easily removed. I wouldn't want to do a touch up only to have the paint below it come off. If anyone suggests decals, I would like to know which brand. I have noticed that some are not as similar to the original paint scheme as I would like.
Any other tidbits of wisdom would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
