High speed graffiti removal

[VA3AVP]

Hello guys so 30 years ago I picture some angry teenager carving BOWLSHIT on the side of a new high speed pinball machine that had just stolen his last quarter!! (apparently one that could not spell)
Now it's 2016 and I finally got my hands on a high speed pin that very pinball that I remembered playing at the local fast Eddies Arcade when I was a teenager and found myself in such awe with this amazing machine..

so as I stare at the engraved defacing of such a beautiful machine I ask myself why? why? why?

Nothing fancy here nothing technical and hey I'm not even the greatest painter but today it was time to remove the 30 year old defacing. A little bit of sanding and some good old Rust-oleum touch ultra cover x 2 gloss black and it's done!

cheers fellows

Lucky it was all in the black.
How about the coloured stripe on the head sides?
I recall my old HS had some fade there.

Could have been worse....or awesome. LOWRENT kept his carving intact.

That's what happens when you buy a previously owned pin by the Chinese mafia.

BOWLSHIT is engrish for BULLSHIT

I have always thought that most 30 year old grafitti was actually authentic and valuable to keep as a reminder of times past. I have a machine here somewhere with lovers initials still carved in. Old gum I'm not as nostalgic about. ;-)
