any idea the best way to tackle this. I just opted to get a airbrush and compressor, but the extent of my artwork abilities is drawing stick figures... maybe some with hats.
I've used bondo and sanded multiple times to get it flat. (pain in the ass since there was salvageable art work around the messed up area).

if I had a scan maybe I could do a stencil for the missing parts?
I've tried painting via brush, but it didn't quiet turn out the way I wanted. plus a lot of the bondo color bled through which meant multiple layers.
so the paint brush method is out. I'm not obviously not concerned with it looking perfect, but just something so it blends in better. This is the reason why I don't like screen printed cabinets. figured this is good experience, more then anything.
the rest of the cabinets isn't bad, except for around the flipper buttons. That's an easy fix since it's just one color.

I was able to find a couple scans from the vpforums library that I could use as a reference, but they aren't the best since the resolution is dumbed down.
