Cabinet Stencil - Green

The cabinet is going to be a lot harder, and as Gav found out, most of the other sellers of these stencils have got it wrong. For the cabinet, the stencils need to GREEN before BLUE - which is the reverse of the head. So first I wipe down the cabinet and then apply the GREEN stencil.





Light coats - my touch up gun gives a wide but even coverage.





Remove the stencil and we have the green done





Here's a good picture of the finish - what I dislike are the repaints of games with good color match, but very poor matching of the original finish. This title is a satin finish - almost a flat finish. It is EXACTLY the finish of the original factory finish.





Cabinet Stencil - BLUE


This is how I lined up the BLUE stencil - I had the registration crosses - I asked Gav SPECIFICALLY for them for this game - and he gave me THREE ! So it was REALLY EASY to line up. Start from the top, line up the crossed and slowly hang the stencil and smooth it out as I peel the backing down ;





Half way done - I'll fix the bubbles as I go along (not done in this pic)





Peel off the transfer tape - slowly.





and there we go - ready to paint !





Always paint out of the sun ;





BLUE paint done ! Now to remove the stencil !

BLING !





WITHOUT Gav's stencils - this could not be done. The other one that is available is WRONG. This is EXACT to the original artwork, and i know Gav put a lot of time into the stencil. This is good for me as I have another FATHOM to repaint - MINE !
