I recently picked up a Bally On Beam from a fellow Pinsider (thanks David!). It has a nice playfield and backglass, but someone in the past made the awful decision to paint the cabinet beige. I decided to design my own custom stencil instead of repainting it with the original design (I know...sacrilege!). I chose to design my own stencil pattern because I wanted something that matched the objective in the game better (docking a space ship with a space station, following the "beam". A picture of the original stencil pattern can be found at the following link:

In the next few posts I'll post pictures of my progress designing, creating, and painting the cabinet.
First, here are some pictures of the beige paint job. The second one is after sanding and prepping for paint.
