Hey everyone,

I tried my hand at air brushing certain sections of my Williams Cyclone playfield using frisket film after reading Vid's guide, etc. (see before and after pictures below). To my surprise, I think I did a decent job for a first timer as I am not an artist at all...I can barely draw a stick figure if you know what I mean. No matter how careful I was cutting the frisket film near the black lines with a ruler prior to air brushing, after removing the frisket film some of the black lines need some work. They don't look bad from afar, but close up I don't like how they look. Some of them have a little bit of overspray, etc.

I tried working on some of those black lines this morning with a medium point acrylic black paint pen. I tried using a ruler to keep my lines straight but the tip was too wide and thus made a mess. I am going to order some fine point acrylic paint pens figuring that might be a little better, but without the steady hands of a skilled artist I fear I will only get it to look so so, especially on the black circles. I've thought of putting frisket film down and cutting out the black lines, but that would be a job and yet still stand the risk of making more of a mess.

Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, method on how to redraw those black lines and circles so they look decent?

Thank you for your help.

I had to clean the living heck out of it after I took the mylar off to get all the glue off, so the playfield is pretty smooth. I will try to take some closeup pictures later and repost. Thank you.

Ok, I found those pens on Amazon. Are they acrylic? It does not say on Amazon. I am going to clearcoat the playfield after I am done painting so they need to be acrylic. Thank you.

I have that same circle stencil. It works to a certain degree...

Where did you purchase your posca acrylic paint pen and what thickness was it?
Thank you.

Sorry for the long delay on this. Here are some pictures of some of the black lines that I need to touch up. Most of these will be under plastics of course with bulbs around them, so people very likely won't notice, but I am just anal.

I am not very steady when using a small paint brush. And painting black lines next to white paint could make a mess, even if I can wipe it off with paper towel and water. For straight lines I was thinking I could put down frisket and using a metal ruler cut out the lines and paint them with a small brush, but I am not sure what to do with circles to get them nice.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Thank you pinheadpierre, but that is Cyclone I am working on.

There are several .7mm tip posca markers and they appear to have different style tips.

Do you use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Posca-Extra-Marker-Black-PC1M-24/dp/B001B2OKIE/ref=sr_1_4

or a calibre tip one:

or something different?

Thank you.
