Stargate Restoration

<< < (3/8) > >>

RayB:
This is great news Peale. I have a Robotron mini that needs paint removed. I also have Goof Off ! I've been procrastinating because I was afraid of just wrecking it all...

SirPeale:
It worked *very* well removing the latex paint (being latex paint remover and all).  I don't know what they used at the factory, but it's stern stuff.

Don't leave it on too long...it started to make the paint run a bit.  I have a streak of red going thru some yellow.

Beezorz:
I picked up a cabinet in rough shape that turned out to be an old StarGate cabinet that was converted to a Neo Geo machine.  I found this out because, at an angle, I could see the raised "StarGate" logo underneath the blue paint.  I'm not trying to do a restoration, but since you have the same cabinet I thought I'd ask ... What would you use if you were going to try to remove the side graphics?  Thanks!

SirPeale:
Depends on what it was covered with.  Mine seems to have latex paint, so I'm using Goof Off 2.

Beezorz:
I'm thinking it is latex paint also, but I'm wondering how best to remove the StarGate graphics underneath the paint to get to the bare wood.
