Very advanced work, very good thread

I just finished restoring a Flash Gordon and would love to get my hands on a set of reproduced cards/decals like you show in the pics. I bought a set once for a Xenon I restored, but I forgot who I purchased the from (maybe you?). Do you make these available for purchase or do you know someone that does?

Man where does the time go! I have been working on this EBD a little at a time. Finally getting to stenciling the cab. I'm using Pinball Pimp stencils and they are working very well. This is my 3rd EBD re-paint. The 2 previous were done with Pinball Pal stencils. As most of you know, the EBD head colors are inverted from the main cab. All stencils I have seen before pimp's have a ivory and gold for the head. So I had to paint the head ivory and then mask off the head and leave the sides exposed to receive the black paint. Once cured, I could then spray the first color ivory (cream) and then the gold. With pimp's you can spray the entire head ivory color and then spray the black stencil. The only drawback is the black stencil has separated pieces that have to be removed one at a time. The paint needs to be fairly dry before attempting the stencil removal. The stencils stick very well, so it's kind of difficult.

I did have a problem with the ivory on the main cab front. I don't think was caused by the stencil. Not really sure what happened, but the ivory lifted on one corner. I'm thinking that i didn't let the black cure enough before laying the final coat. Or there some kind of contamination on the paint.
