Title: Uncovering original artwork
Post by: Jollyrob on May 18, 2010, 03:54:09 pm

Quick easy question, what does everyone here recommend for uncovering defender sideart on a now half primed over defender cab that I about to drive 2 hours to go pick up.   It's been half mamed already, but I'd like to at the very least keep the original sideart on there.  Only other thing messed with is that the control panel has been replaced with a fat mame one.

I would test in an inconspicuous location first, though.

thanks, my only concern is what collateral damage it might have on whats underneath, but i'll give it a go

Thanks for the tips, but turns out I get it home and the guy who had it before me had sanded off parts of the one good side of the artwork to putty over his screws...so may be a lost cause on restoring
