Sharpie anyone?

[MarioAllStar2600]

My Burgertime sideaert was pretty beat up. So I used a sharpie to touch it up. Doesna nyone else do the same? I dont think im the only one, but is there any downfalls. It looks beautiful now.

Shhh. I do it too. :) Well, not with arcade cabs, but other things. Labels with a lot of black in them end up looking great with that trick if there are rips or mars.

Talking with this guy that refurbs pinballs on the side, he pretty much said that black touchups to exposed plywood and edges tends to make it look better than actually building it up with wood dough, sanding and repainting.

It's great if you plan to keep the cab. However, SOME collectors (myself NOT included) feel that original paint is better than touchups, even if the original stuff is worn or damaged. Crazy ass arcade machine collectors!

I wouldn't say that....it's kind of like disc resurfacing in the console world. Some people would arther have scuffs, and others would rather resurface.
