Hello,
My Pac-Man Machine was painted over with blue paint and would like to know if there is any easy way to remove the paint without damaging the artwork.
I have already tried using a heat gun, but it either doesn't bubble up the paint, or it leaves streaks of paint on the artwork.
Thanks.

Doesn't that strip all the artwork on the cabinet though?

no...not unless you leave it on for more than an hour or so...i've been using it and it works pretty good...i usually spread it on thin in smaller sections and leave it about 15 to 20 min and it does a good job.

Exactly what he said. It will strip off the original art, but only if you leave it on too long. Work in an inconspicuous spot to get the timing of it. Do not go with a heat gun...you will definitely damage the art underneath.
 
Lift off latex

Djdns advised me to use lift off latex to remove the black paint over on a berzerk I just bought from him.
