I recently bought a popeye arcade machine and it is in really good shape except for a few large gashes in the sides. I saved a piece that chipped of and am going to get some touch up paint color matched. My question is, does anyone know what type/finish of paint i should get to best match the rest of the finish? And would it be a better idea to repaint the whole side or just sand down a bit and touch up that spot? There are a few small scuffs on the side so it is not really in need of a repaint, and i feel that the worn look adds to the vintageness of the game. I filled the gashes in with wood filler and will sand them into shape. I can post pictures if needed. Thanks in advance.

Since it was so hard for me to find this info originally, here it is for anyone else with the same question. I found that the finish on my Popeye machine was actually a satin finish. not as glossy as a semi gloss. I would think that this is the same for donkey kong since tey are both by nintendo and the same color. The color i got was Olympic latex satin finish from Lowe's and the color (it was a pretty darn good match) is called All That Jazz. Hope this helps someone in the future.
