Vinyl Black Cabinet - touchup paint (Asteroids)

[Aniraf]

I'm sure this is buried in the forums somewhere, but I couldn't find it :/.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a spray paint (or otherwise) that can touchup small parts of the original black vinyl on an Asteroids cabinet?

I've tried a couple and I can't seem to get the perfect combination of sheen and black.

I assume it's impossible to get it 100%, but I'm curious if someone has found something that is better than what I've found.

I ended up going with the attached paint. The hue is dead on with my cabinet but the sheen is just a bit off. I compensated by incorporating a magic eraser right before it was completely dry. This helped me to kind of smear the paint in a way that you cannot detect the repair unless you put a night light up next to it.

It is certainly not perfect, but it does the job until someone figures out a way to replace these sides with a true screen printed vinyl.

There is actual screen printed replacement side art. If you decide to go that route, you'll need to remove the old, sand and prime the sides, sand smooth again. You'll need a perfect surface like glass. It's a lot of work, but can be worth it.
