Q*Bert sucks ass, let's convert it into something decent - Arcade Icons

The rest of the cab is already black yes, but the coin door is also there and the screen is still installed so I didn't want over spray going everywhere.

Oh I'm sure you have your reasons friend, I was just asking as it's not something I normally do. If everything is going to be the same color, I paint it all at once and dont mask shit. But, If I painted the kickplate first, then installed the hardware, then wanted to paint and stencil the sides, I probably would mask it too. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm trying to get my mojo back. I'm now turning to the current restoration guys to get some tips and see if I've been doing things wrong all these years. I appreciate the insight your professional restoration team has to offer. Say hey to the Icons boys for me.
 
So you painted it black before masking it?

its easy its for the diamond plate.

Blue going on

All masking removed. I made a booboo and used the wrong type of masking paper over the slightly tacky red paint paint. :rolleyes: I didn't want to leave the mask on too long, but obviously I tried to remask too soon and ended up with some paper stuck to the red paint - ahh well.

The next day I took a little Novus 1 to the red painted area and managed to clean away the fibers of the stuck paper on the red paint. Not perfect but came out ok considering the fuck up I made.

Game roms swapped, a little extra wiring on the CP (For the additional Fire Button and P1 & P2 start buttons that have different assignments in MP versus Q*Bert).

The game is up and running, fully playable, and totally awesome!!!
