time to get down and dirty
because the cabinet will be repainted entirely with a new color scheme (and because there are deep scratches in the artwork that need to be filled), the old stuff needs to go
no problem at all getting it off!
here are the stencils that i'll be using. they were cut by brian@gamestencils.com who had to buy extra large stencil sheets because those old-style taito cabs are larger than the later versions!
but before i start, let me do a quick test run with the selected colors and some leftover stencils from an older project of mine: blue base coat and stencils applied
a few coats of white spray paint later
the stencils come off easily without any problems this time around and it looks damn good. those tiny pieces of white that you can see around some of the white parts can be removed with a pair of tweezers, i was just to lazy to do it for the entire paint job, i only did it for the piece in the lower left corner and as you can see, it looks totally clean and without any rugged edges / paint runs. i guess i can order the paint now ...
