I have a Stencil Kit for a Bally Star Trek cabinet
I would like to restore. I would like to know if anyone could walk me through the process of
repainting it. and the correct color of paint to
use. Thanks Appreciate the help

WoW! Looks Gorgeous. Appreciate you
sharing step by step details. I like the colors
you chose. I wanna use the same colors.
This is my first attempt at painting a cabinet
I hope it turns out decent. i used a sander
and removed all the paint and primered the cab. i hadnt worked on it in months n was in
storage but all the dust settled on the cab and
has a blackish color. would i need to remove
all the primer off or can i just go over it with
more primer? i cant wait to restore Star Trek
I even got a new backglass from Classic playfield reproductions. i have the BG that
was a repro of the prototype backglass
where the crew members are wearing
differnt colored uniforms

Thanks for the Suggestions. I dunno might have to try the light sanding and maybe try a light coat of primer on it. its kinda grayish looking. it was in storage for awhile. i should have wrapped it in plastic. Thats Great you have that BackGlass as well. I bought a nicer used playfield awhile back. not alot of wear on it as the one in it. I can do basic pinball repair but not technical at wiring for playfield. will have to take the better playfield to a electronics shop n have the better parts swapped over. Star Trek is my favorite Tv show growing up. this pinball means alot to me and hope it turns out as beautiful as yours. I have a Williams Flash that I had the playfield completely restored and redone to factory new. and all boards bulletproofed and a very nice backglass for it. but cabinet needs repainting bad. but unable to find a stencil for it.
