    Default HELP! Touching up my popeye machine.

    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.

    Default Update

    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.
