I need some glass bezel touch up help/examples please.
« on: December 27, 2003, 11:45:59 am »
I have an original robotron bezel that needs a lot of touch up work in some areas. I couldn't pass it up, it was free-of-charge  :)

Can anyone point me to some examples of bezel restoration on line?? Any tips? I've never tried this before, and right now I just kinda stare at it and go "hmmm.."

Color matching's going to be difficult.
Masking off an area without pulling off more original paint's going to be difficult.. hmmm..

Thanks for the help!

Below is a picture of a 'new' bezel. Mine's missing most of the red stripe surrounding the bezel.
