Only if you make it! I don't mean to be rude but it's probably true.

You tried to make them? or tried to find them? From what?
I made front ones for my Gorgar. I'm tapeing the side by hand for all 3
colors. Not exactly the way it was done but I don't loose any art at all. I
am going to make stencils for my Algar pin though. I have to. It's going on
another cab. I'd be willing to share any tips I have with you. Stencil
making is a real pain. but the job is more factory correct looking. I almost
made stencils from a Kiss that I shopped out awhile back. To much work. I
also made head stencils for Pinbot but didn't finish them. Once the base
color is on the original art is gone. If the stencils aren't acurate or
complete or lined up correctly, you'll have a mess of a time.

Well I would only do the following if the current paint job is complete
garbage, as original fair is better than new good. Also its easy to
completely ruin a cab so be very careful.


Just buy some acetone(clear plastic sheets) from an art supply store. Make
tracings for each color by taping to your existing artwork and marking with
a extra fine sharpie. Computer match the paint. Tape the acetone over some
poster board(aval at Office Depot/Walmart) and cut out your poster board
stencils with an X-Acto knife. Paint your pinball with the base color. Wait
3-5 days(more is better) for curing. Then cover your entire Pinball side
with masking tape. Place the poster board cutouts(for the first color) on
top, gently trace the first color pattern onto the masking tape. Use your
X-Acto knife(light pressure) to trim out the masking tape pattern for one
color. Peel back and paint, spray gun perfered. Let cure for a minimum of
3 -5 days. Recover(with masking tape) the painted areas and repeat the
cutout/painting process for each color. A long laborious process, but if
you have patience, it will come out very nice. The most important thing is
to let the paint cure, its tempting as hell to wait a day or two. Wait
longer and the tape won't pull off your paint. Also try to use the new 3M
extra low adhesive tape, and oil based paints are perferable to water based,
despite what the paint guy at home depot says. Also lay the cab on its side
so surface is horizontal. More lighter coats are preferable to heavier fewer
coats. Take your time.

Good Luck.

You must have meant "acetate"...acetone comes in a can and will make your
eyeballs spin around back into your head... --Bob

They're out there. I have some. But, I promised them to someone else when I
am finnished with them. Maybe we can get a list of people that need them and
whoever has them can keep sending them along ?? (providing that they hold
up)
