Hi, I recently bought a Six Million Dollar Man pin and the paint on the outside cabinet and backbox are very faded. I would like to paint it the original colors. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the matching paint colors please?
Unless you plan to sand everything down to the wood and re-stencil, extensive touch-ups on top of the existing paint are not going to look very good.
Here are the stencils if you need them: http://pinballpimpstencils.com/six-million-dollar-man/
Its just a simple Red/White/Blue on the paint scheme on that game. Get those pinballpimp stencils and either sand or use acetone to strip the paint. Repair imperfections in the wood, use a tack rag and prime. Repeat until you are happy with the prep and then tack again and paint.
I have restenciled some of my six million dollar man cabinet and touched other areas.
If your cabinet is faded the touch up is out of the question.
Restencil is your only option
Quoted from pkurfess:Thanks to each of you for this valuable advice. I plan to order the stencils from ForceFlow's link provided above. I didn't know about PinballPimpStencils until now. Sounds perfect. Thanks again everyone!
ForceFlow beat me to it. It doesn’t get any better than Pinball Pimp. http://pinballpimpstencils.com/
