Quoted from dr_nybble:There's a first time for everything! Only touch-ups on a Williams Spitfire (1954) and Bram Stoker's Dracula before this.
The repaint itself I'd say 20-30 hours -- much of that was placing the stencils. Redrawing all the artwork -- probably double that.
You can see the cabinet that was repainted with laser cut stencils here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/what-are-you-working-on-right-now/page/23#post-5801111
The rest is standard cleaning/polishing. The only interesting thing left is recreating a plastic, which I've done before with success, and pondering what to do with the backglass. It has some flaking, but I know they are very hard to do convincing repairs on. Or I might just buy a reproduction, not sure yet.
If you end up going the translite route let me know. My glass is cracked. I was almost considering changing the title if I had a translite made. I have a feeling this is going to be difficult to sell when the time comes. Ha!
