Hiya.
I am rebuilding a 1969 Gottlieb. Lots of heat and humidity damage. Peeling paint, dents & original finish problems.

I'll be taking the cabinet outside for a good sanding, dent/blemish filling (bondo) and final sanding.
I have a couple paint questions if you don't mind.

1. What type of paint would you use? Enamel? Oil-based? Something else? I used rattle cans on my previous two rebuilds which used the same 3 colors (Red, white & blue). My present game also use the same 3 basic colors but I want more variety so I will be using an air sprayer for color control.

2. How can the spider web type snot/string background cabinet patterns be reproduced?

Thanks!

Nice looking job there

Thanks all. I'll check my local Hobby Lobby and Michaels for webbing paint.

I've done a lot of google searches on the subject since opening this thread. If I can't find the webbing cans then I'll put thick unthinned (or thickened) black enamel in my spray gun and use low air pressure and see if I can produce strings.

I'll post pics of what ever I go with.
Thanks again!
