As I mentioned in my wtb thread (dk jr cpo) I'm looking to fix up my Donkey Kong Junior control panel. In addition to a new cpo, mine also need a little bit of work on the control panel itself.

There are some scratches in the black paint. Anybody else fix one of these up before? Is it just glossy black paint over the wood on the control panel? It seems like there's some kind of plastic film over the paint, but that could just be the glossy paint. Anybody know for sure?

In other words, to get this control panel to look nice should I just sand it down to wood and then paint it with a glossy black paint, then put the new CPO on top?

Any advice would be appreciated.

It's a really thin laminate. If you sand it down, a good coat of paint will look almost indistinguishable.
