    Quoted from PinballPimp:

    I'm also working on getting approval to sell Gottlieb stencils as well. Talking now so hopefully they will be up on my site as well. Here are some of the machines I already have stencils for:
    1974 Big Indian / Big Brave
    1975 Abra Ca Dabra
    1975 El Dorado
    1976 Royal Flush / Card Whiz
    1976 Target Alpha
    1976 Spirit of 76 / Pioneer
    1976 Surf Champ / Surfer
    Mustang / Bronco coming real soon
    Fire Queen / Vulcan coming real soon
    Joker Poker coming real soon

    That's really good news-pls keep us posted on progress.
    Do you ship internationally eg Australia?

    Quoted from dasvis:

    Actually, I would rather have much thicker stencils, WITHOUT any adhesive on them.
    A nice thin shot of low tack 3M spray by the end user would make them much, much easier to align & you could get the factory overspray effect.

    Per an earlier post dasvis I think this is the advantage of striving for metal stencils as used originally. If only???

    I am in the process of restoring a Gottlieb Pro Football EM which from purchase had some serious cabinet flaws on the right side particularly within the 'footballer red helmets and a red splash section.

    Earlier in this thread I was very interested in reference to factory stencilling of EMs by way of metal stencil jigs. That was a bit much for me but I thought I would try the same principle using MDF board.
    I traced each of the helmets and the splash to tracing paper and then adhered the trace to the MDF.

    I then cut the 'to spray' section out using a jigsaw with timber cut blade and cleaned up the edges with abrasive paper and secured the board to the cabinet using light cargo webbing.

    Time now for spraying using a Duplicolour spraycan from the local auto shop. The colour flame red was an almost identical match to the original colour.

    I was very happy with the result particularly getting the small overspray line around the perimeter per the original factory finish.

    I was also surprised that this is not a particularly time consuming method. A few minutes to trace, the same to adhere to board, about 10mins to jigsaw and cut the board and about 15mins to mask, spray & remove jig. I am now rather keen to try the process on a complete cab resto.
