Joker Poker Repaint
« on: March 25, 2011, 12:23:16 AM »
One of my favorite games needed a facelift, so I got some stencils from Retropin

http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=445.0

and got to work

This is the first time I have ever stripped a cab back to wood for a repaint, so it took some motivation to start sanding away the old paint, but I worked up the courage and got started. Some undercoat, and then the base white. After that I did the toothbrush speckles, and then remembered I should start taking some photos!








I like the red










After adding the red, I gave everything a coat of satin clear to seal the red so the stencils wouldn't likely take any paint off. Seemed to work well.

The black really brings it altogether.. ..








More to come.

Looks great  ^^^

The spots came up really well.
What type of paint? Enamel or Acrylic? Sprayed or brushed on?
Starting my first repaint myself, so I am keen to get all the info I can.

Cheers
Dave

The stencils were really good Gav, one was a tad out, but with a little wiggling I got it right.

I'll be hitting you up for another set for the other JP now I'm feeling confident.

I don't have a spray gun, and can't find the motivation to want to learn their intricacies.

The paint is a quality lacquer paint (or so my brother tells me). Brand is Anchor, I suspect most automotive paint supply shops will keep it. Goes on beautifully and dries to touch in 10 minutes.

The specs were done with a toothbrush - dip in paint (not too heavy on the amount) and flick by running a finger over. Practiced a little on some cardboard until I felt confident.

Thanks Nick, I'll look into the Lacquer paints, I'm totally clueless when it comes to paints.

Looks AWESOME Nick !

Did you have the paint matched and then had the supplier "can" the paint into pressure packs ? That RED is really vibrant.

No - the surviving red on the existing JPs were two different shades, one very dark (almost scarlet) and others I've seen look sort of orange. So without a reference I just chose a nice looking red. The white was a "sea mist" which is sort of antique white. And the black was, well, black! :)

My brother can do the mix and can, but didn't do that here for the reasons above.

Looks excellent Nick . Congrats on tackling your 1st cab repaint . At least you had Gav's stencils .. its a lot scarier when you have made your own , remove the original paint and then hope for the best.  :D

That does look nice Nick, and it is hard to get motivated to paint your own cabinet because there is a lot to it.
