Why would someone do this to a defender? Could the art have really been that messed up that it would be better to have them black than to have the art? The cab is in nice shape otherwise and unspoiled. I don't get it.
That was surely an easy cabinet to convert to other games.
I've seen where people have successfully stripped paint off of paint, but I don't think you'd ever get it to look like it did before it was painted over. I have to think, with pre-made stencils available, it wouldn't be much more work to strip it and restencil/paint it, if you're confident in those abilities.

I'm not confident in that at all. I'd enjoy trying it but I don't have a garage. It might be sketchy doing it outdoors with the breeze huh? Although it's been beautiful lately. I've seen what some of you guys have done and they come out soooo nice though. But it doesn't look like novice work!
it's worth a shot...try "Goof Off"...you can get it in the paint section at Lowe's...that's what was used on my Super Pac Man that was painted black and it didn't remove the original artwork at all...in fact it was pretty well preserved under the black paint. It's well worth a shot...you really don't have anything to lose, worst case you would have to re-do the original artwork anyway.
