Stripped the paint off the side Art and touched it up after stripping. Installed new T-Molding, Marquee, and CPO. Front and coin doors re-painted black.
 
This is how I had to touch-up the artwork

It's a shame the side art was very dull and faded after stripping. Maybe it was caused by the stripping or maybe that's just how the artwork was before somebody painted over it and converted it.
 
niiice, looks like you need an instruction sticker :D

really nice job touching it up, what did you use to strip it?

Ya it definetely needs a bezel Instructions sticker lol

You can't buy citristrip in Canada so I used something I found at home Depot. "Wipe Out grafitti remover" It works pretty good.
 
Very nice job! Superb!

Coming from the master that's a great compliment! I haven't been on here in a while but I plan on picking up a few more MK projects in the spring. I have a nice Smash TV in my garage right now already stripped and ready for restore I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can work in the garage.

Thanks to all for the compliments in this thread.

Was wondering where you were hiding, I too have a smash tv now sitting in the garage. i'm worried about the condition of the art under the black paint and painted over conversion art :(

I also have another machine in the works too but that's a secret for another week or so :D

can't wait to see what you got going on next.
