I just picked up a wow and its pretty dirty I was thinking of painting it. however the weird thing is it still has to original perfect side arts. so Im not going to remove them. has anyone just painted around sideart before? This sound crazy but I thought I would see if any of you had done it?
 
I remember a link with detailed pics of someone (Prok?) doing this to a red cabinet (Frenzy??)

Can someone post the link?
 
just mask around the edges of the artwork and then paint it,be sure to just give it a good clean first.the more weird the sahpe of the outline of the artwork the harder it will be to mask.ie:if it has lots of curves it is harder to mask round them,straight lines are always easier.

i had to do it to my star castle,as theres no replacement available for this cab yet.

just tape it up, be careful cleaning bally/midway side art allot of chemicals will strip the ink off the vinyl, even orange clean and mean green will, on atari cabs it wont
