That looks sweet!

Who's stencils did you use for that? I've got an EK to do too when my new CPR playfield arrives.

My client got them and gave them to me with machine so not sure, I'm just starting my 2nd Kiss cabinet re-stencil but the stick on stencils give a raised edge so for this one I have hand cut them in card after tracing the existing cabinet. A lot of work but you get the proper feathered edges. Last machine restoration attached using stick on ones

The most important thing when doing an old machine restoration is to colour match with the unfaded colours hidden under side rails and coin door trim.

Could you tell us the paint colors and sheen you used for the EK?

Thanks
