I'm nearing completion on restoring the Spy Hunter II cab. Picking up the lightbulbs today. Everything else has been cleaned, adjusted, spec'd out and working very nicely.
I have a couple questions on restoring the cabinet finish:
1) What (if any) is a good way to touch up scratches on the sides of the cab? It appears to be vinyl (or else really heavy black paint over white primer). There are a few scratches that allow the white underneath to show through and I'd like to touch them up if possible. Can that be done with like a touch-up paint and then buffed? Any paint color recommendations? Any other methods?
2) What is a good cleaner or method for the control panel overlay? No plexi, just the overlay. There is a little magic marker on one side, and just general grime that comes with age. I've been hesitant to put anything on there as I don't want to use anything that would be caustic and risk stripping color. Any suggestions on how to clean up/polish/restore? Product or method recommendations? I'm really at a loss here and don't want to experiment with household stuff without checking in here first.
Thanks,
