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.
HeadboxMasked 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
