I guess the big game theme of this machine wasn't cool enough for the previous owners so they painted it with latex in red and put BLITZ in yellow letters on the side. Yeehaw! It took some help from the family to get it all off to show the original artwork underneath, which isn't too bad. Below is the body after I started taping it off for touchup. I have decided that I am going to attempt to freehand paint the entire thing now that I have the original art to go by. This will be an ongoing thing before and after the game is playable. The rusted legs have been sprayed with a preventative until better ones can be found.
Stay tuned for more on this as the work progresses.
