Bobbie, this is just my opinion, but I would either leave it as is or do a complete repaint. I've never seen a machine painted in small patches or areas that doesn't look worse than leaving it alone. You'd think black would be an easy color to match, but throw in sun fading, the discoloration from the shellac etc. and I don't know if you'd be happy with the results. I like having the machine tell a story about how much it was used, and the imperfections are badges, in my eyes. I do have a few machines that are so bad, a repaint would probably be the best way to go. And for that, there are internet sites that give pointers. I'd like to tackle that in the future. Just keep in mind most decals are not replaceable.
