The MVS I bought has some damage where someone tried to pry it open.

I thought I would tape along the sides and fill in the damage with epoxy resin.

Toughts?

Here is the damage:

just use bondo its easy to sand and cheap
i have repaired several mvs cabs with chuncks missing one was missing the entire side of the cp

epoxy will be to hard to sand and finish
 
Most people use Bondo. I don't think epoxy resin will be very easy to work with as far as molding, feathering, sanding and painting.
 
Thanks guys I will pick some up. Yes epoxy would be hard, I was just worried that bondo would be too weak for the t moulding.

Another question, I will need to paint the damage, which will be easy on the black area, but the red will be hard to match. It's not like I can take the cabinet to Wal-Mart to color match. Anyone know the mix ratio? The rest of the cabinet is really good shape I just want to repair the damaged area.

i would use eggshell as satin is a little shiny for touch up

Nice match, thanks so much!!! On your neo is that repainted too? Did you silkscreen on the white? I was was going to post a separate thread about Ms Pac. I want to build a new Ms Pac multi using my Galaga cabinet as a template since they are the same shape.

I know that people sell sideart, but the original was painted on. I wanted to know if anyone has gone the paint route. How is it done?
 
no the neo is all original (well excpt the 19 inch i stuck in it to replace the broken 25 inch)
as for the mvs side art ther eis a guy on neo-geo.com that sells the art in a stencel or as adhesive backed art

That is cool, just glad my cabinet is in good shape. Does anyone sell Ms Pac stencils?
