Repaint it yourself.

The basic design is easy, use thin masking tape from the local autoparts store for the curves.  It'll take some time though...

Whatever, you ideally need to get a tracing or something....

Yes, there site has been "moving" forever.  Guess it would not hurt to e-mail them though just to see.   ;D

Tape together thin paper (so you can see the shape below).  Trace it out, put that in a safe place.  Do the deed, then tape the paper back on.  Do some creative razor work so you can "mark" the cabinet side at important places and pull the paper away.  Then paint.

If it's a vinyl sideart, bring it in to a paint store.  They'll mix something very close.

If you do it right, you could seperate the traced pages and xerox them onto thicker stock.  Then tape the thick paper together and you have a stencil.

Did you have any luck? I am having the same problem finding a Taito tracing or sideart or anything.
