Nutsy Doodleheimer #1 Posted April 18, 2015 I am not sure if anyone has posted a topic regarding to this. I'm not sure if any of you prefer your 2600 cart slot bevel with it's original look even if the paint has faded. If it has faded, and you want it to look original again. These paint markers make it look fresh and new again. You can get these at any arts and crafts store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's. The yellowish one is the one for the Heavy Sixer and orange for the Light Sixer and 4 switch woodys. Here are some shots. I have a couple extra 6 Light Sixers to do so and here are my consoles. My 4 switch woodgrainer didn't need it as the original paint is still great 33 years later. Anybody looking for a solution. Take the cart slot bevel off, put masking tape everywhere except where the paint Is, paint gently by lightly pushing marker down and painting around the bevel. Hope this helps. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+DrVenkman #2 Posted April 18, 2015 Man, is this a timely thread or what? I just bought a Light Sixer on eBay last night and remembered seeing posts in the past where people have touched up the trim but I couldn't remember what kind of paint was used. Fantastic! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow460 #3 Posted April 18, 2015 Neat idea! I wonder if a silver one is available for Sears owners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassGuitari #4 Posted April 18, 2015 Neat idea! I wonder if a silver one is available for Sears owners. There is. I've used one to refurbish my Sears 4-switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodLightning #5 Posted April 18, 2015 Man, is this a timely thread or what? I just bought a Light Sixer on eBay last night and remembered seeing posts in the past where people have touched up the trim but I couldn't remember what kind of paint was used. Fantastic! Indeed. I was looking over my light sixer last weekend. Orange paint is broken in several spots around the switches. A previous owner must have played it a lot. 'tree house STUDIO' brand eh? OP, thanks for sharing...it's on my shopping list. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutsy Doodleheimer #6 Posted April 18, 2015 Man, is this a timely thread or what? I just bought a Light Sixer on eBay last night and remembered seeing posts in the past where people have touched up the trim but I couldn't remember what kind of paint was used. Fantastic! Awesome and glad to hear that!!! And congrats on your Light Sixer!! Heavy Sixers and Light Sixers are the most notorious for the paint fading around the bezel. Especially they are at least 35 year old systems. Seems like most of the 4 switch woodys hardly have that problem that I am aware of. Glad to give some tips to gamers that areva real help to them. :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutsy Doodleheimer #8 Posted April 19, 2015 Pics are pretty fuzzy. Any chance of some that are clearer? I took them again after I got your reply. They did look a little bad. Here are some better ones. Sorry about the low quality. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keatah #11 Posted April 19, 2015 I remember using this as an excuse to sniff paint back in the day. I told her I had to huff and puff to get the vapor density just right so it evaporated at the same speed to keep the colors even and not dripping. "But maaaawwwwmmmm!! I'm making my videogames look nice!!" 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
