Got a very small touchup to do on my GnR, between the GUNS letters in front of the AXL scoop.

Its really small but i never did it, or have the acrylic to do it. Besides, i'm very bad at color matching

I was planning to put a mylar piece to prevent further wear and would like to cover what is already gone. So if you have the paint and the skills, please msg me, i will supply the cold beer and the repairs to do on my other machines .. err i mean, the free games on my other machines  

Thx all !

too bad you didn't live close to toronto.  pinstocker has a crew that can do any type of repairs.  that includes excellent repaint work.  

The repairs are very small and plain yellow, i guess i just want someone to come over and play

For anyone used to it, i'm guessing a 5 minutes repair ! Can be done after we're done playing it

Yellow is actually difficult to color match along with blues and greens.  Heck any color is tough to match now that I think about it.

You have few options.

-live with it

-Paint acrylic:
Pro's - very easy to do.  Can generally get good color match results.

Con's - Usually leaves an uneven surface.  Not a problem if you clear but its possible you will see tiny bubbles and ridges after you apply mylar.  Should not effect play unless you really gob it on.

-Airbrush:
Pro - Nice even surface.  Since its sprayed the edges are feathered and blend into the original art.  If you water down acrylic it should work in an airbrush.  But with a color like yellow you will need to do several passes to build up the opaqueness.

Con - Air brush are expensive and kits are usually pkgd with enamel or water color paints. Can overspray if you don't mask properly.

post a picture of the wear ?

Maybe i'm best to just put a mylar piece on top of that to prevent further wear.

I'll post a picture later Phil.

Yeah... those axl-holes get worn a lot when balls keep hiting them...

...never gets old.

Here's a pic of the wear.... so far, its minimal, i wanted to fix it and cover it with a piece of mylar to protect it.

The color is kinda "screened" with some dots inside, i dont want it perfect, even unmatched yellow would be better than white..

Its a heavy use area  

Bon ... va falloir que j'vienne jouer à BK2k !  pis en plus, j'aurais besoin de photo d'elle donc....à très bientot

Let me know quand t'auras du temps !

En fin de semaine je pense aller dans Charlevoix, sinon après quand tu veux !
