How to restore glass marquee art?

I have found a rare Jungler glass marquee.
It's in reasonable condition, but could surely use some touching up (see pics).
Any thoughts on what the best way is to approach this?

That depends on the end result you are looking for. It is very difficult to get the right collor and thickness. First test it on a piece of glas so that when te paint is dry you can do a backlight comparison betweem bezel and test glas. The white is easy. Finish with a few thin layers of white spraypaint.

Thanks
this made me wonder: how did they originally apply the paint?

I would
1. scan it
2. repair it (means go over in Photoshop)
3. print it as a sticker
4. get rid of the original paint or buy another piece of glass in the same dimensions
5. apply the sicker on the cleaned original/new glass

I've done a few small area touch ins using Edding paint markers, they are great for black and white but it is difficult to get a colour match for other colours - they do a large range though so you might be lucky with a match.
You could try to protect it from any further damage by applying a protective coat to the back, that should stop the paint flaking any further. Something like this clear coat spray.

Scan, clean up in Photoshop or vectorize it, print out on vinyl, apply to a new piece of glass as a translite, place original somewhere safe to avoid more paint loss.
