Post by: buick4u2nv on November 21, 2007, 12:07:06 am
so i have a "trog" game not in the original cab... it is in a wood paneled cab in so so shape... the question is..

If "value" is your only concern, paint it or slap some decals on it, *begin sarcasm* although would paneling is so nice.

How about a pic to see what condition it is in.

value isnt my main concern... as i dont intend on selling it....

BUT i dont wanna make a huge mistake by painting over somthing thats collectable.. :)

I'd go with a foam roller with lots of sanding between coats.
