Post by: Hawk Daddy on July 09, 2007, 01:04:01 am

I plan to just strip the blue off, and repaint it, that way it will also protect the other colors and logos.

I am very interested in how you do this actually. I have the same bezel and there are a few very small spots missing some blue and I could really go for making it look authentic.

Good luck and keep us updated.

I am also interested on how you do this.  What type of paint are you using?

Hawk man...How are ya?

The bezel looks great........I think. We need to talk about your photo taking skills though bud. Well actually you just need more light. Either natural (open the shades) or turn all the lights on in the house, or both. Turn off the camera flash, hold the camera really, really steady and follow through with steadiness. (I mean keep holding steady even for like 2 seconds after you press the shoot button.) Try a few different shots and angles. Pick out the best ones and post them here...I wanna get a good look at this Ms pac bezel and the touchup you done to it. That is one of my favorite games all time.

Um there is no flash it's a camera phone.  I had the big light on in the center of the room, but didn't do too much.

I figured it was a camera phone, some have flash some don't. I have a Razor with no flash. I was just trying to have some fun with ya there anyway. Your pics are fine & I can see you did some great work on the bezel.

You're getting quite the collection there man. It's crazy, by the time you are an old man like the rest of us you will have quite the grip of games!

Oh I don't have the game just a pcb and  the bezel.  I am either going to sell all the stuff, or build a cab for it.  Not sure yet.

how did you restore this piece hawk? I am working on a Ms. Pac cab as well and have a bezel that is in pretty good shape just some bubbling in the lower left corner. I am very interested in knowing either what type of paint you used or how you went about restoring this piece. More details please.
