Sexy Girl
Bell Coin Matic, 1980So I acquired a fully populated original sexy girl playfield. Already had a cpr backglass. So I decided to make this project. I have a crappy playboy that is already being repaired and prepped for its new journey.

Sanding again. Reglued the front panel. Had to take out wood nails and glue the top board of the head. Getting good prepping for its new paint job.

So it needs leveler, then primer, then high metallic silver. Then the candy coat, then clear. Then stencils, and more clear. Auto paint is super expensive. Every layer is $100's. Just bought 1 qt of the candy red, and it was $300. but i think it's going to turn out phenomenal.
Sounds like it's going to look awesome. I'm going to follow too. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
So, that explains why I could not find any Playboy cabinet for sale. They are all converted to Sexy Girls !!!!
Well, I took a Mata Hari and turned it into a Playboy.
I am glad you do have the backglass already, because CPR is no longer producing it with the score openings. I will be following your project.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:i'll be spraying the head tonight.
I feel like "spraying the head" when working on a Sexy Girl isn't exactly what I think it is. I will open your spraying the head pics with one eye open.
Quoted from Eric_S:When I saw the title to this thread, I expected that you were getting one of those sex robots.
maybe a cheaper one that needs restoration.

Some things you have to buy new...

It's never new, she's lying.
Well fawk me running. This cabinet has done this to me 4 times now. Tried sanding it. Did it again. Tried a thick clearcoat layer in between. Did it again. Tried different silver did it again. Head came out great. Front of the cab came out great. Sides . Not so much. About to reprime over this shit that has been hardcore sanded again.
IMG_20200810_211807566 (resized).jpgIMG_20200810_211815930 (resized).jpgWas told to try thin layers with 15 min between layers. Instead of 2 thicker layers. Shit did it to me again.
second layer will be silver, and have detail for the girls outlines. I was going to go with white at first, but i'm really worried the white will stand out too much when looking at the cabinet.
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Impressive project
I was going to say sexy, but ok, impressive will work too. 
maybe. I need to figure out the perfect amount of material to use, because right now, the vinyl i'm using has too high of tac and it's creating problems. and i'm having major issues aligning the second color, since I don't have guide markers.
So the second color turned out to be a disaster. Couldn't get the sizes right because of it being a vector image, and doesn't use file edges for size. Then when I figured that out. Alignment was a nightmare because I don't use registration marks. This has to be redone. The silver turned out nice. With some pearl in it.

When you get it dialed in, its going to look awesome.
plus I just found out I have some low tac, semi transparent vinyl for stencils. So this might go easier now.
If you put circles in the corners of your vector images (Put them in the corners so you are only showing a quarter of the circle on all layers ) the layers will then remain sized correctly When moving to the cutter.
Super sexy! Dont you have to cut a speaker hole further back in the bottom panel to make room for the projector?
