Hey everyone,
I have a robocop who’s cabinet head could use a bit of freshening up. I’m not looking to do a full restoration or anything, more just get it looking more presentable.
I feel the graphics are fine, so I just want to mask them off and repaint the black. What’s the best way / material to do this? And once the black is painted, would I need to clear coat it all? Any help or thoughts Would be appreciated.

Just wanted to update this and thank everyone for your ideas and recommendations. I ended up working on robocops backbox this weekend and am very happy with how it turned out. With the help of wood filler, sandpaper, paint, a roller, frisket paper and an exacto knife, it cane out as wonderfully as I could’ve hoped for. I can’t wait to find another project to use frisket on again. Here’s some pics.

After applying the frisket and then trimming it roughly 1/2 a centimetre from the graphic edges:

Thanks! I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Thanks miracleman and flynnibus ! I appreciate it

Thanks Atari_Daze and Only_Pinball , I appreciate the kind words.

I'm really happy with how well the frisket sheets worked, and how nice they were to work with. I really didn't want to spend the time and money on ordering decals, so I'm happy that I was able to save the original artwork, as well as freshen it up with some paint touchups and then lock it back in with the clear coat.
