Cabinet after respray, got the stencils from Pinball Pal in the US.
Playfield in the second pic is not the one out of this machine. I used it to practice the maylar removal.
Found heat work better than the cold spray.

Hi

Did you use Heat Gun to remove mylar? The playfield artwork is awesome, should come up a treat  ^^^

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Used a hair dryer, found that the freeze lifted paint off with the maylar, probably due to the age of the playfield.

Looks great mate.
I was recently contacted by another member here about a Paragon cab I did using the PinbalPal Stencils a couple of years ago
I HIGHLY recommended the stencils and these shots of yours proves that again.

Congrats  @@*

Keep the pics coming

Watching this with great interest. I have a project Paragon.

You must be happy with those stencils, they have come up a treat. Will order some for mine.

Looking forward to further updates.

That is sweet - are you going to put the 'speckle' back on the cab as per the original design?

Keep up the reports, love to see a classic Bally being brought back to its former glory.  Great player too ^^^

cheers
