I've prepped the lower cabinet and finished the base coat. This is the exact finish of the original. Don't know why Bally went down the path of almost a flat finish, but this is the factory finish for this game ;





Did a little bit more than just the areas seen at the playfield level.








Cabinet is put aside for a couple of days to fully cure.


Headbox


Masked and ready for the BLUE stencil





Even coverage -  Not too heavy..





Some minimal paint lift which will be addressed later





Here we go with the lime / green stencil in place. This is a very intricate stencil to match with the blue. It takes a while to register and align with the blue, and you really don't know how close you are until you remove it after painting.

Close up - What a fantastic job Gavin did with these stencils 





Headbox completed !
