Just picked up a nice paragon - has the typical red completely faded, but the rest of the cabinet and colors are decent. Has anyone just used a stencil kit to paint the faded colors? Assuming they are very close to the original I would think I could just paint the red and have the cabinet look almost original. Paragon has the yellow cabinet with a bit of that Gold speckle. Is this doable?

Thanks guys/gals

BTW this is the good side, the other side is just yellow and blue. lol

Trying to line up a new stencil to original art? Sounds like a nightmare at best, but most likely just impossible.

If you're dead set on repainting just the red, maybe use some frisket and mask around it.

Yeh I haven't seen how close the repro stencil kits are to the original artwork, either way it seems like a lot of work.

Yep, never ever going to get a stencil to line up to mask off original like that. Either frisket or find someone who is very good with an airbrush. Or just take the entire cabinet down to bare wood and redo the entire thing.
