Flash Gordon

"The 1980 movie was not a critical success but has since garnered cult-status and is particularly lauded for the calibre of both its score and supporting cast."

Cabinet Progression

Above is the cabinet in the condition it came to me. This was the worst cabinet I have ever worked on. Note how faded it is. The right side was full of carvings. I think more of the right side was covered with initials than paint. Note also how faded the colors are. The red is now pink. The left side wasn't in too bad of shape. It must have been up against the wall while the right side was probably exposed.

Above are more pictures of the right side. It was covered in knife graffiti.

Above are pics of the final result. The red and gold are really vibrant. The before and after on this pin make this my favorite restoration. That, plus the fact that I like playing the game have caused me to keep this game in my collection.
