I have just started restoring a Tron. This is a dream I have had for a long time and now I start down the path of making it happen. But along the way I have hit a snag. What to Paint it with and how to do it.
My Tron is in good shape but has some scratches on the sides and could use some new paint.
I first used a Heat gun on the old side art and took my time taken it off but when I did I found this beautiful surface of black underneath. Now, I have read that I could use satin black paint , oil base black paints with a semi gloss. I have read that some will use spray and others a sponge roller with light wet sanding between coats.
But can anything be as smooth as what I found under that old side art?
I did read that the original cabinets where painted with melamine paint...? Is this true?
Can I just paint the Tron with melamine paint?
Is this paint a good substitute... http://cabinetrescue.com/_wsn/page5.html
I would love to paint the game back as it was with the original paint but I don't know if this can be done.
I will post some Pictures so you can see what I have done so far.
