Looks sensational!

How well does the blue match the original?

Has he got a few mils left over I could buy to touch mine up?

I believe its pretty close.  There was a wooden strip (removable) which I think the playfield support rails nailed into or near at the back of the cab.  It was matched from this as it was the best (untouched) and had not faded.  What ever is left I'll grab for sure.

MAN that is lookn SWEEET!! great job, cant wait to see the finished product.

Its easy to tell the spraypainter is a perfectionist (nothing wrong with that!!) Especially as he used the black guidecoat over the primer coat. Glad to see im not the only one who has done that on a pin cabinet :lol

Few more pics...

Clear is going on, on Sat.  At this stage a flat clear is going down.  Overall I'm pretty happy.  After market stencils will never be 100% as close as factory but unless you've got another BH side by side you wouldn't pick the small differences.

Thanks Angelo,

I cannot take credit - hard work goes to my spray painter...I tried to buy him a standup Sega drift last night but missed out!  I'll get him something else...
