Restoring Marquees?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I have a Marquee I would like to fix if possible since I haven't seen
another one like it in this good of shape. It has a few scratches on
the back but only the white coating is scratched and not deep enough
where it touched the picture. Is there anyway to patch up the
scratches? Maybe buy the same kinda paint that was used to put the
coating on the back?

Probably white spray paint then some triple thick clear coat would be fine.
Krylon makes Triple Thick but other brands of the same type thing are found
in arts and crafts stores and in the Wal Mart craft aisle.

Wouldn't regular white paint keep the light from shining through the
marquee?

Thats what I'm guessing since I doesn't look like normal spray paint

A thick coat would, but I think they either used a light dusting of
spray or an entirely different material altogether for the marquees.

Might have been an ink used for silk screening. Just a guess.

I wonder if using white water color just to touch up the scratches
would work?

Don't try this on a Pac-Man Marquee. White spray paint will cause the
image to begin to crack and split.

Liquid Paper, maybe? That stuff seems somewhat translucent.
