Looking good, pick up some sharpie brand paint markers for the touch ups. Doing the black outlines does a lot to make flaws fade away, though. |

That is really impressive work. I'm in the market for a Centipede and you are making me rethink my restoration plan. Those sharpie paint markers pbj mentioned come in other colors and work better than just plain sharpies. I used a white one on my Asteroids Deluxe. |

Thanks guys - the regular sharpie is not good enough for the black lines. I ended up wiping it off with acetone. I'll look into the Sharpie Paint markers - never heard of them. I did pick up some little bottles of the acrylic paints at the craft store and the black works great with a small brush. I'm testing the yellow and other colors now. I'm not an artist - but I may try mixing some colors to see if I can get better matches on the red, green and oranges. We'll see if I get that far on the side art. |

That’s an impressive blend! Looks completely new! Nice job :applaud: |

Wow! I can’t believe you pulled that off. I honestly didn’t think there was any way you could make that look good again, but damn was I wrong. Is the flat T-molding on in that picture? Nice work getting details like that down, really makes a difference. |
