Maybe this is a silly question, but, what are the opinions on refacing /refacing the dummy score reels? I can print them on mailing labels or I can print on a card stock and use spray adhesive, or I can paint the dummy reel glossy white and make a decal.

This is for a Space Mission that came home yesterday and none of the dummy reels had coverings

Thoughts?

Haven't done this myself, but seems like paint and decal is best of your options.
Does anyone sell these?

You can buy the dummy score reel stickers from pinball resource. just peel and stick.

I used the stickers from PBR on my Space Odyssey and they came out looking great (and the price was right, too). That said, though, since then I've been sent an artwork file that had dummys on it that could be printed.

IMO its still easier to just slap on a sticker than deal with printing new ones; any time I've got a machine open I'm likely making an order to PBR so I just throw a few more dummy stickers in.

I had the same issue with my Space Odyssey. Printed them on card stock, covered with mylar and used 3M spray adhesive. Worked great. Cheap, fast and looked very good.

See Space Mission; Dummy Score Real Card:

Or buy these.
