I have this good condition Gottlieb High Hand. The Gold stamping on the drop targets has been worn away. Instead of buying new targets, I was going to gold leaf them. Nixed that, and tried something else.

Before.

Used this Krylon Gold Paint Pen.

While standing in front of the game it is hard to spot the repair. The 'After Photo' is a close up and the paint strokes are slightly noticeable. Surly any errors could be wiped off right away with solvent.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Now a couple coats of acrylic to lock it in?

Was planning to just leave it alone, and see how it holds up, like some kind of test.

I don't think this pen will work on targets with lots of colour to fill. Like Abra Ca Dabra as it has those star shapes on the targets. The end result will be very noticeable paint strokes.

Thanks @Vic_Camp, for the suggestion. The pen worked just great.
