Title: Should I paint over this sideart?
Post by: gyruss on August 17, 2003, 06:09:18 pm

My next project is going to use a Berzerk upright cabinet that was previously converted to something else. I got it out of the trash at a local bowling alley. The sideart was painted on using stencils like in this picture:

The 'Berzerk' at the top was already painted over. The rest is in Okay shape. It would need a little touch up.

I'm not sure if this sideart is worth saving or not.
Any opinions?  ???

If its in really good shape then maybe you should spare the art. But Since its not an original anyway i would just use your own art. Just my opinion.

It does not sound like it is worth saving.  You be the judge.  If it looks "cool" keep it, otherwise go wild with your own design.

Save it. Stenciled sideart is always worth saving. It is easy to touch up, and you can probably get the "Berzerk" part back using some 3M safest stripper.
