And heres what I did this morning. I thought id have a go at repairing the white score reel areas. Originally was going to use white adhesive label to replace the white paint and cut out the score windows, but I decided to give SPURRs idea a try (repaint these areas). Only variation from his idea was how I chose to mask off the score windows. I scanned one of the score reel sections, cleaned the image up a bit, and copied it to make four images in photostudio and made adhesive stencils from adhesive clear inkjet label! Worked a treat as I was able to print out perfectly sized and spaced windows onto the adhesive label that could be simply be cut out with a scalpel once stuck down onto the glass.

Once the adhesive masking stencils were made I cleaned all of the old white out of the 1st and 2nd player sections to start with, and cleaned the glass with Windex. Of course.. as I was cutting the white paint close top the black with the heated scalpel blade… some of the surrounding black came off didn’t it??  Making more work for me. I then had to fix these bits before I could continue. After masking off and airbrushing down some black paint I was back in business. After carefully applying the score window maskings and cutting out the sections to be painted, I masked off the surrounding areas and sprayed on a few light coats of flat white acrylic paint. Then after a couple of minutes I removed the score window masks.. worked a treat!!! Thanks SPURR for inspiring me to give this a try!! As I said before I HAD been thinking of trying this, but it was  SPURRs tip which provided the inspiration to give it a go!!
