Changing side art on Pinball 2000: Do I need to paint!??!
jasonbar:
Spent about 1 hour in two 1/2 hour sessions today, stripping the adhesive off of the right side of the cabinet. Final side, finally! Phew!
I'll let the garage air out & then lay down the black auto wrap tonight or tomorrow.

Laid down the auto wrap vinyl on the lower cab right side tonight. Tomorrow: SWEPI right side art, & then lots of trimming & careful cutting out of a dozen or so holes for screws & flippers. Swirls in the picture are remnants of soapy water that I left on the surface, which I used to aid in squeegeeing out the air bubbles under the vinyl.
ChadTower, I kept a scrap about 6"x10" for you. PM me soon if you want it. Otherwise, to the trash it goes!

Trimmed the lower cabinet right side black auto vinyl.
Laid down the SWEPI lower cabinet right side art.
Adhered the new black right side rail from Pinball Life with a loooooooong piece of double-sided tape. I was careless & killed the original rails when pulling them off. The front hole doesn't line up quite right w/ the cabinet's hole. I'll need to run my drill through it. As a bonus, these new rails also have holes on the back ends, which the stock ones did not, so I'll run a second bolt in the rail at the back end for extra security.
Next, put it upright, pull the playfield, & put all the cabinet hardware back in.

This is really turning out nice....Hard work pays off ...
99 cent cans of dollar store spray paint aren't always the answer.
Curious as to how many man hours you have into this... Have you been keeping track?
I've got an NOS decal set for my NO FEAR that I am just plain SCARED of putting on... not because of the hard work but because I have no confidence that I can do it well.
You are becoming a real pro at this... maybe I'll send the game to you and you can decal it for me.
What would you charge to do someone's game now that you have done it yourself?
