I am repairing a 1976 Williams Aztec EM pinball, and am attempting to touch up the paint in spots where it has flaked off on the playfield. I have heard people use water based acrylic and then clear coat it. I however will not be clear coating it, so am interested in whether the acrylic paint is the wrong way to go as it may not hold up as well.
I also have some enamel paints, which I know will hold up better, but don't blend into my playfield very well as the old paint isn't very shiny and the enamel is.
I will be waxing the playfield, but I'm aware and cautious of smudging or eating away at the new paint.
Check out my blog for more information on my machine and restoration process thus far (keep in mind that this is my first project)
