There are a lot of ways to fix up a machine that has had some scratches or whatever done to it. You can often just use model paint to fix a scratch, for example. Think we need a topic to cover ideas from everyone of ways to make a less than perfect machine look great again.

For example, I had an eraser sized white nick below the token insert on the DDK in the pink-painted area and fixed it with a pink-colored sticker that looks as if it came on the machine from the factory:

On my Thunderzone, there were several paint scratches along the right side of the round display which I attempted to fix with model paint. But, lights are meant to shine through this silver-colored plastic where I touched it up and it looked bad and dark whenever the lights were on. Chrome star stickers did the trick and they look great and as if they came from the factory that way. (The new TZ is still on the bench getting its clean up in this pic...)
