Arepachi Find

Got this one back today. It first went to get new resistors as mentioned above then to the engineer for a going-through and to have schematics made.
I made a youtube video and then the battery died in the camera. The video still provides a good overview of the machine. The part that is in the video is just me playing a couple of games. I may add that video at a later date. That should do it for vids of my different arepachis.

So this part lies above the coin insert on this machine. It has a red LED that lights when a token has been inserted. This part had most of the chrome worn off as well as the coin strip so I decided to redo it. It didn't come out as reflective as I had hoped but that was due to my not using the correct airbrushing technique.
To do this the part was removed, sanded, and liquid masking was applied to the areas not to be painted. For detailed parts like this, liquid masking is a must. Once dried, the part was sprayed with gloss black and then clear gloss. These two gloss coats are important for chrome paint. The basecoats have to be shiny and as smooth as possible. Where I went wrong was in going to heavy with the chrome as opposed to misting the paint on and building it up. I may redo it but it does look much better than the original.
Pics are before and after.
