    I have done a couple sets of pinball pimp stencils. Just follow the instructions on your paint. Pull the stencil while the paint is still in the flash period or wait for the flash time and hit a second coat then peal the vinyl while it’s in the flash time. Let it fully cure. Light sand to give it some bite for the next color and knock down any high edges. Tack the cabinet and apply next layer of vinyl. Rinse and repeat til you ready for clear or done. I have always used rattle cans.

    Quoted from spandol:

    What grit do you use to sand? Also what paint and clear do you use? I tried rattle cans for a Flash Gordon, but could never completely cover the primer because the red was so thin. I want to do my Viking, but not sure what red to use.

    To strip it I used 80 grit on a vac system (lead paint and all) then worked up to 220. bondo and fill cracks. Then finish sand at 300. Priming was 12 cans as the wood was old and soaked a ton of paint. Then 6 cans of white for base coat and averaged 2 cans per layer. Head was about half again those numbers. The more time you prep, the less time you have to fix stuff. I was using rustolium 2x paints. Krylon didn’t seem to cover as well on another project
