Today I started trying to remove some blue paint that someone had painted on a 1951 Mermaid. The game has been in storage since 41 years! Probably painted blue around 5o years ago. I managed with a razorblade to scratch off the entire front of the cabinet and coin door. The colors under havent seen UV light since around 1968 I am guessing. Take a look at this!
