Title: Sega Outrun Resoration
Post by: mikeguildford on January 09, 2011, 09:41:02 am

Hi All, I'm currently restoring a mini upright. Does anyone know how to get reproduction "red" Sega artwork for the sides of this machine ?


Many thanks  :)

You could be in some trouble there.  I don't know of any sources that carry the mini side art.

Have you tried stripping the paint? 

I think people here have used this stuff with some success:

Ok thanks, it's always worth a try! Got a feeling the artwork is In a bad state that's why it was painted.

an arcade friend of mine is currently restoring an out run mini as well. he's thinking of scanning the sides and have some guys from the usa cut him stencils. perhaps you could join together eventually ...

That would be fantastic. I would rather get the art instead of the dull paint.
Can you pass on my email address ? Mikes9876@hotmail.com

Many thanks all, for your help

Hello
On eBay now Sega mini outrun side-art you thought these were long gone. Does anyone know where to find an empty Galaga or Pacman cabinet.
