Cleopatra
Gottlieb, 1977I looked through the archives, but couldn't really find anything solid to answer my question.
My painter homie is coming over today to look at the Pinball Project's Cleopatra. It needs some serious love, and a lot of touch-up paint work.
What paint should he use? He's asking me and I'm asking you.
Acrylic's are the easiest to work with but if your not going to clear coat it use something like testors enamels or any good oil base paint. Oils are harder to mix and get good color matches but tougher than acrylics. Or maybe use acrylics and just spot clear to protect what you did touchup. Check this out and if you havent looked at his other sights, theres tons of info about touchng up and clearcoating and pin repair. Good luck!
