have a taito cabinet Im restoring. The sides are in rough condition. Will it be a bad thing to paint over the taito logo. It does not have any artwork on sides just taito logo in standard grey. was thinking painting it black or grey. will this affect value. thanks any ideas please. The logo doesnt seem to add anything to overall game but it is standard.

Yes it would be a bad thing to paint over the logo. Is this some kind of a joke post? Of course it affects the value if you just paint black or grey over it. You'll need to sand it down and restencil it if you want it restored properly. Unless you have the older Stratovox style cab, Gamestencils.com sells the stencil set you need. I've used them with great success:

And I believe that even the older Taito stencils are in the process of being recreated.

Now that one is Double Dragon and is screened vinyl. I have the same cabinet. No stencil for that one. I wouldn't just paint over it though. Try and touch it up or have one of the solvent printer guys like Mamemarquees print you up a set of side art.
 
props tp phet dont ruin that double dragon cabinet! Bump for a great game too!
 
Mask off the logo, cut out around the logo with a blade and then paint around it. You will get tape marks, but it is an option.
