Pepsi Clock

[pepsi-perk]

I have had this Pepsi Clock for years.  It is in working condition, but the white paint is terrible on this thing.  Cracked and very faded / yellowed.

As you can see I have been slowly and meticulously removing the paint off the reverse side of the plastic marquee around all the lettering.  Luckily in the clock face area - all the numbers and tick marks are printed on the face, so if I can find a way to quickly remove the white paint I should be done with the stripping of it fairly soon.

I post this since it is a similar situation some may have run into during the restoration of their soda machine marquees.  Does anyone have any good tips in repainting this and / or suggestions on what brand of translucent paint would work well for this kind of project.

Any help is appreciated!

I have never done it, but here is a good resource for restoring back glass on a pinball machine.. I plan on giving it a shot whenever I get around to restoring my juke... I also need to do it to my Robotron machine as its starting to flake..

I sold a clock just like this to a client. He sent it out and had the plastic face redone. It looks brandnew. I'll ask him about it when I deliver his counter top 27 that I am restoring.
