Galaxian's artwork looks so complicated. Even with stencils - repainting that looks like you'd need the patience of a saint. The white backround makes it even more tricky.

I'm just going to do some touchup. If it turns out looking too bad I'll probably stop.
Spyridon:
Mamemarquees does have the side art available. 2 big drawbacks - 1. Price and 2. Inkjet
Edit : Just checked the price and it's not as bad as I thought. Only $63 for the sideart
For inkjet side art, it doesn't look too bad. Here is a cab (not mine) done using it:
I know Rich at thisoldgame was planning on doing this eventually, but who knows when that will be?

I saw that and did one of these: :o And then I double-checked, since I have priced it out before and did one of these: :(. The $63 is for tp to 26"x18". If you want the original size (full-size) you need to add $115, which makes it $178 for the side art set. Add in another $40 for the kickplate, and it adds up quick.
Rich once gave me a quote for doing the Galaxian side-art on his solvent inkjet (I think it is the same as mamemarquees?), wihch would be plotter cut to the sideart shape so you wouldn't need to do the entire side. But it wasn't much less expensive than mamemarquees. He also said that the design is too detailed for stencils, and even if you did try it would be far too cost prohibitive.

Okay, that makes more sense. I remembered it being $180. That's a lot for ink jet. Rich did sell the front kick plate, but I don't know if he has it in stock. He was looking for the correct vinyl to do the side art. That was the hold up.
Level42:
Rich sold out the kickplate. Quarterarcade still has them at higher prices......which is why I didn't buy it. That plust the vinyl is just not exactly right. If I spend 60 bucks (without shipping !) for just a kickplate I want it to be 100%.
So I will live with the scratches and stuff......
