CENTIPEDE cabaret Restoration - works again

Some more "before" pics:

I've got a Centipede upright that suffers from the "flakey glass" also. What are you going to do with it?
RayB:
It's fixed already (haven't taken the photo). The art in general is still in excellent condition. It's just where the bezel staples were that the art rubbed off. (So those staples are now GONE. They aren't even necessary since the glass holds the bezel in place)
I went to a hobby store and bought those little Testors model paints. I got green, yellow, blue, red, white and black. I then mixed a small amount of colors to get matches to the original colors. It took alot of testing, tweaking... I would test on the back of a "blank" area of the glass.
When I was satisfied I wasn't going to get it any closer, I carefully painted in the missing spots, let it dry, then sealed with a clear coat.

Fixed Glass art:
(can you find the flaws?)
