Touch up paint for Bally Flash Gordon (Help)
« on: July 15, 2012, 12:13:50 AM »
I want to touch up part of the back box on my Flash Gordon but I want to leve the rest of the cabinet in original condition at this stage.
What is the best way to find its original colour ?
And where would the best place to get the paint made up ?

   Outer edge of the back box that surounds the glass..   pictured.

Judging from what others said in the Star Trek repaint thread, you need to find areas never exposed to sunlight

behind the trim on the coindoor, inside the backbox, behind the legs, and (if momory serves me) inside the box that is inbetween the cabinet and backbox

And when you workout what to use for the gold, post it here as I would love to know :)

EDIT
just as a thought, how is the condition inside the cabinet?
If you are getting the paint, maybe touch up the sides where the playfield rubs

Remove the door trim. The original factory color will be revealed - including the gold  ^^^
