Best way to remove old side art

<< < (3/5) > >>

ctozzi:
Regarding mk2 I have restored 3 of them that were painted black. - filled the holes sanded all bmps and repainted a primer coat. They all turned out beautiful

Ctozzi,

That is the approach that I am initially taking.  Started filling holes over the weekend.  Also repairing some damaged edges and corners.  Did you hand sand, or use a palm sander?

Thanks

I'm about to attempt the hair dryer method on my DK... assuming it ever warms up enough.  Is this the best method?

stan2323:
Heat gun and pealing off the old art is how I got my old Tron art off.  It took about an hour each side.  Then Goo Goon for the residue.  There was not much residue as I pulled slow and went easy.

I used the hairdryer technique on my Galaxian.  Word of caution:  wear thick gloves.  Till I was done, I think I melted off my fingerprints and my fingers were burnt for a day or so.
