    Quoted from Pinzzz:

    I want to stay away from sanding the paint part. I would be fine with a planking/flaky look. I just want the game to be safe in the home environment and not get any worse.
    There are no stencils for this game that I can find? If I could touch up the paint and seal it. the next person that owns it can make their own stencils. sand, prime and re-stencil it.

    It's not that bad, just play and enjoy it.

    Quoted from dudah:

    Primed this cabinet with oil-based primer, sprayed it with HVLP and gloss oil-based paint.
    This corner got sprayed too thick so after it dried I sanded it down and touched it up with the airbrush.
    For both airbrush and HVLP I thinned the paint with some naptha.
    It passes the 6 foot test but if you look at it at the right angle you can see where it was repainted, looks glossier than the rest.
    Why did this happen and what can I do to fix it?

    A non-gloss finish will be a bit more forgiving, in my experience.

    Quoted from jlbintn:

    Recently finished painting my Fireball, using Rustoleum and stencils from Pinball Pimp.
    This is the paint I used, plus Royal Blue for the primary base coat. It has a nice sheen to it, but am interested in protecting the paint from nicks caused by vacuum cleaner hoses (and such) in the hands of grand-kids
    Is there a clear out there that is "proven" to work well with Rustoleum enamels? I plan on letting the paint cure until, at least, April of next year. [quoted image]

    Just out of curiosity, how many cans of each did it take?
