I'm working on restoring an omega race upright and am pondering what to do about the sides. They appear to be made of a really hard black coating on melamine and I can't imagine that it will be easy or even possible to remove. But there is significant gouges and frayed edges. Should I just fill in, sand this material as smooth as possible and paint (black satin oil based) or attempt to remove it?
The front is similar in that it's that same material in orange with a crack and several drill holes for a lock bar. The front is not as bad and I could perhaps just put in black bolts to make it look better and leave it.
Of course the front kick plate art is faded and scratched and needs to be reproduced. I'm considering scanning it and trying my hand at reproducing since I can't find it anywhere. Anyone have it somewhere already scanned or replicated?
