I bought a really nice AC/DC prem over the weekend that has some flaking in the shooter-lane. I know a couple of a couple of other machines that have had this issue, please see below.

Wondering what is the best way to deal with this, since this is really quite a small job. From what Ive picked up from a few threads Im thinking
1) remove the left cliffy, apron, etc
2) sand the area down
3) use frisket to keep the edges sharp
4) paint it
5) clear coat it

Not sure what to paint it with? Ive used a Sharpie oil based pen for touch ups on the inside side panels with good results. And for the clear coat Im thinking something like Dupli-color Perfect Match protective clear coat. Although its a spray, I want to avoid spraying since the machine is in my unvented basement games room. Im thinking of spraying in a cup and dabbing it on with a cotton swab, but not sure how it will interact with the oil paint, I would try it in a small area under the apron.

But, if there's a better way to do it, please advise?
