Hi there. I'm attempting my first semi restoration of my Incredible Hulk and seeing as I'm not the most gifted artist and my hand isn't as steady as I would like it to be I'm wondering if anyone knows the font name and or are stencils available? Thanks.

Someone painted over the best parts of the playfield and completely painted over all the cool stuff. I'm removing the horrible paint job to find some damage but a mostly all there playfield. Blows my mind as to why someone would do that.

Still not done removing all the paint but I'm getting there.

Keep in mind that they playfield artwork was hand-drawn, so there probably won't be an exact match.

However, you can try these font finder sites to maybe find something close:

I suspect that the fonts were not hand drawn but used Letraset or other ready-to-use fonts for creating the film positive.

You can see some techniques for repainting in my thread here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bare-wood-em-playfield-repaint

Other folks like waterslide decals.

If you're not familiar, there is also pinball pimp stencils for the exterior, depending on how far you want to take your restoration (http://pinballpimpstencils.com/gottlieb-stencils/).
