Go to Pinball Pimps website see if he has the stencil.

He also has how to videos

yeah. I agree.

I just did a full cab restoration with new decals and it's pretty labor intensive. LOTTA work.

I'd think stencils would be less involved.

Just the opposite, stencils require more work overall if done correctly. Both processes are very time consuming to accomplish. Everyone should attempt it once to appreciate what restorers go through.

Totally agree.

I will admit I price policed pins without taking into exception the work that goes into restoration of a cab. HOURS upon hours are necessary to do it.

One thing I would definitely recommend is installing them wet. I'm glad I did.

It sounds messy, or odd, but it's easy and very forgiving if a decal is laid down wrong. You can actually lift it back up and reposition. Do wet.

Massive amounts of researching on here and online. There is a great video on google/youtube from "tattyadams" and his indy restoration. I learned a ton there.

I also started a few threads on here while I was restoring my bad cats so I could ask questions along the way. My starting thread is here:

You can learn just about ANYTHING on here regarding how-to's. Just ask/start a thread and ask along the way.

I just put my fourth and final coat of paint on the backbox. Next I just need to install the decals to that, and it's done. The cab came out terrific.

It entails a ton of sanding, using bondo, and some cab prep. All things I learned along the way. Never messed with bondo before, but it was simple.

You'll need a circular palm sander, bondo and perhaps a spray gun ( I got from harbor freight for $110). Oh, and never used a spray gun before. Or knew how to thin paint. But you learn. You just jump in.

Check out my posts. You'll see my threads. Just know its a lot of work, but well worth it. Oh and pics of taking things apart.

Trial and error. Some YouTube’s to getcha excited...

Always make sure the wood is sanded smooth. Decals will show imperfections.

And the Rapid Tac spray I use for wet method...

Good post underlord. The one video of the guy using the light to align the edge is something I did too.. Really useful.

OP, the top video is that Tattyadams one I mentioned. Good stuff.

Here is a vid i did quite a few years ago. Personally i do them dry now, hopefully that gives you some help as well.

You should unwrap it and post pics. Corner dings and surface scratches are pretty decent to fix with bondo. Structural issues are different.

I did one wet application many years ago and it went totally fine. I have done all of mine dry since then. It is a matter of personal preference, but my preference is dry for sure. It seems to go a lot faster, but you basically get one shot at it.

Yes they can. It’s fine both ways. Personal preference is all.

Are use classic arcades on my bed cats restoration. Decals were Nice

Send a message to Pete at retrorefurbs, his decals are very nice.

I’ve used Retrorefurbs. Quality was good. Planetary Pinball, when in stock, depending on title, and Pinball Decals.eu. For custom stuff and some hard to find out of stock titles.

Remember, at the end of the day these are just applied graphics. Not rocket science or super high restoration projects with OEM factory stuff. As long as the graphics are scratch resistant, your good.

I see what yer looking at.

Classic arcades is the seller. He’s hit or miss on quality. I last used his stuff years ago and it was fine. No idea what type of graphics he uses.

Did you email/PM them, or just look at their website?

I now have a source of decals printed on air release vinyl. They are super easy to apply as you can push air bubbles out no problem. So dry is just a lot quicker.

For a first timer, there is no real downside to doing them wet, just make sure you have painted the cab so you aren't spraying liquid onto bare timber

Hey Fix
The best video concerning dry application is this thread. If you do it exactly like Jim Mc, it will come out perfect.

Painted surfaces are recommended.

You can do this, and people have had success with it. The problem can be with the repro decals though. Depending on lighting and the thickness/quality of the decal, you can see the old decal underneath the new decals.
