I've noticed a few of my P2-era stuff has the clear coat on the LCD screens beginning to peel.
I do work at an autobody mechanics shop, I'm sure the principles to restoring it are about the same. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm guessing you could just very lightly wet sand it with 1200 grit or higher to buff the peeling away then reshoot it with some sort of clear from an aerosol can.
Has anyone tried this? I don't have any pictures to show you what I'm talking about, but on a few of my older ones you can clearly see part of the clear starting to form holes and deteriorate, just like cars do with their paint.
This method could be used to repaint tamagotchis and look professional, too. However, you're on your own coming up with a stencil if you want something besides solid colours.
