Hi all,

I just picked up my first EM (Star Action) over the weekend.

It seems Star Action and Triple Action use the same artwork but the cabinet base color is different.

I need to re-paint and re-stencil the cabinet because mine was repainted over the original artwork -- badly.

Can anyone plese scan the original cabinet and backbox art so I can make some stencils?

I'd be most greatful!

Thanks

Quoted from Otaku:

Have you tried removing the newer paint without removing the original artwork? They may have painted it because it was in bad condition, but a lot of times it's not bad or even nice. Things like just magic eraser and 'elbow grease' can pull off certain kinds of paint, while Citristrip does well for others - but you have to scrape it very very quickly (like let sit for <5 minutes) or it'll just kill the original artwork as well.

Hi Otaku,

I'll try that - but looks like they may have used spray can enamel - FLAT black as the base and then painted an enamel gloss over the top of that. The gloss will likely clean off easier but not sure I'll be able to remove this. Anyway - I'll try to clean it off - but not sure it will come off.

I suspect that they painted it because the original Artwork is PINK so I'd be surprised if it was actually messed up.
Let you all know how it comes out - but would still like a tracing or scan if someone can help with that!

And how does one scan a cabinet?

With a scanner.
