After I’d let the left hand side dry for a few hours, I turned the cabinet over to do the right hand side. The yellow stencil was done first, and allowed to dry  I was going to leave it for a few days between doing each colour… but patience is not one of my strong points
Even so it came out pretty good, with no major overspray getting under the stencils. What little overspray that DOES get under comes off easily with some Re-Po paint doctor auto polish and some soft cloth, or cotton bud in small areas. I find Its best to do this before the paint completely dries (I did this step after about an hour, and had NOT been done in these pics).

Im pretty happy with the way this turned out. The original base colour was slightly “redder” than the colour I used, though I dont think it looks too bad. but it did, as I said match the colour under the side rails and insides reasonably well. Anyway its only a pinball machine after all… lol

Next.. the backbox rebuild and repaint… stay tuned!!
