Title: Anyone out there have a Taito Double Dragon?
Post by: RetroJames on February 09, 2005, 09:08:53 am

I am wondering about the sideart - is it painted on or a full side panel sticker?  Are just the "Taito" and the racing stripes stickers?

Thanks

I have an original Taito Double Dragon cab.  The side art is one giant adhesive sticker.

If you can get someone to take some high res pics from each (or one) side that are taken straight and center you can use that in p-shop to make your stencils. 

Too bad goof off didn't do the trick this time... :(

there's no way that would take more than 10 minutes to vectorize.  from there you could send it to the stencil making place, or have it printed on a giant vinyl sticker.

yep.  You could print that sucker on a laser plotter, use contact cement spray to affix it, and throw a shot of clearcoat over it.  Or stencil.

If you get the image, see if someone in the artwork section will vectorize it for you so they can upload it to the arcade image site.

If you get some Hi-Res pictures, would you mind emailing them to me. I would really appreciate it. I might try to paint it on my cab by hand. Thanks
