I've started work this cab again this year, there's not too many jobs left to complete.
It looks like I have the CPO sorted which was my main worry, just need to sort the kick plate artwork (although I'm sure I could make it look nice without replacing it.
The first Job I did was strip and repaint the coin door!
Next on the list will be:
- Replace the base
- Apply the CPO
- Fix the holes in the kick plate
Will see after it's complete if the kick plate artwork needs replacing or not.

I managed to get hold of a NOS CPO, the colours seem quite a bit different to the front panel but should look a load better than the mess that's on there right now.

I had a really tidy one of these a few years back. looking good mate, even better when the artwork is on it
Thanks Chris, It really did look sorry for itself when I got it delivered last year... But no thankfully it's starting to come together

Whilst it could be true, all the examples I've seen online have the same shading as my kick plate (I suppose they could be prone to fading).
Heres how they compare.
Its great when something comes up that you need and at the right time, ive been pretty lucky like that on many occasions
The art work could of faded unless different versions but a lot of machines usually away from sunlight
I see you painted the side plates at bottom, they should unbolt from inside cab to remove and clean up, took some of the goliath EC ones before to repaint
Much better with original guns too

I think the artwork is a different version to be honest, but should look ok.
I managed to paint the side plates okay with it on the machine but if I'd have known I probably would have removed to make the job easier

Thanks for all your hard work on this Mikonos.
I noticed the bullet holes are not lined up with the original piece (and it only shows two there instead of four). Is that intentional.
Also, would it be difficult to go from the colouring of the scan on the right hand side of the image?

No, it is easier for me!
I can recolor your kick panel easily with original Control Panel Overlay colors.
...but, like I told you, it was a pity you don´t clean your Kick Panel before scan process because it is a nightmare to clean it in a digital way.
Your kick panel is so easy to restore too, but it is a long, long process to clean it dot by dot by hand.
I told you that your panel will take me 3 days, I finished before time, I finished it 10 mins ago.
Greetings!

That looks fantastic Mikonos, I really appreciate your efforts on this.
If possible could you change the colour to the lighter version?
I can clean and re-scan the kick plate for you as it gets warmer here. But have a feeling those stains won't come off

There is not lighter version, your version is color faded. All your cabinet is color faded, even "blue" color. This is the only reality!
The red color is the most affected always by the passage of time and oxidation of the dye.
Like I told you, there is not problem to change colors like you want, I isolated the 3 colors: black, brown and red when I restored your panel.
In my opinion, you will make an error, I would do a restoration of kick panel art with CPO colors, but you command.
Greetings!

I think I would like the colour faded piece please. It will match the rest of the art on my machine. This machine isn't one that I played on back in the day so cannot remember the actual colour. But know that every machine I've seen online looks like the faded artwork. So would prefer that one.
Thanks Mikonos

Yes, that look spot on when looking at it up close. Thank you very much

You've done a fantastic job, I cannot wait to see this on my cabinet. I hope others owners see this and order one for their machine too!
Next, if possible we can look at the kick plate in the same colours
