I have a Galaga bezel that has some flaking paint in the black areas. Does anyone know if it would be safe to fill in these areas with black spray paint? Or would it basically strip off the rest of the silkscreen once the paint hits it? Thanks!

I usually spay it in a puddle and use a small hobby brush to brush it in the spots where I need it....
Works great, won't pull up the original paint......
I thought hand painting too but wasn't sure of the results I would get. Have you ever sprayed over the existing areas?
Hand paint. You just have to put on a couple coats. I've never sprayed over the entire thing. I think its like Tigre said, it may change the color. I wouldn't do it. Take the time, hand paint the spots you need... It will look flawless.I thought hand painting too but wasn't sure of the results I would get. Have you ever sprayed over the existing areas?
I have sprayed several galaga and pacman bezels. I usually spray it focusing on the edges with no tape over the clear area. Then go back and scrape off the overspray with a flat razor blade. If needed use tape as a marker after it has dried. This will fix the black and seal the flaking paint. Just my 2 cents

My favorite is ace satin black. Good flow and its never lifted the old paint. I had a pinball glass I sprayed triple thick on and it lifted the paint on the bottom. The black has always done good.
Glass are screened with enamel inks so whether your spraying or painting as long as you use an enamel and not a solvent type of paint youll be fine.
but be warned spraying black over the back WILL change and darken all colors.
the inks are somewhat transparent and the backscreend with white and then sometime silver to blockout any addtional light so unless the Galaga bezel is backscreened silver Id go easy on it.
Puddling on touchups from the backside of a bezel will turn out flawless
if done right
