For a couple of months I've been going through my 52 Williams Twenty Grand. Since these games are not popular I've had issues finding parts, but a previous owner painted the game white, and I cannot find a stencil to try and cover it up. I've attached a photo of mine and one that is in restored shape. Any suggestions of what I should do?

Try latex remover, the artwork may be recoverable so you can make stencils.

I have laser cut stencils for the door. I uploaded a PDF of the artwork to the Gallery for Twenty Grand

Either laser cut (I use 1/8” MDF for stencils) or print out and hand cut poster board or a similar stiff material.

You can see an example repainted cabinet (done with laser cut stencils) here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/williams-1954-spitfire-restoration-complete
I recovered the original artwork after stripping off latex and was able to make stencils.

You may be able to strip or sand the white layer to expose the original paint.

Thank you so much for the stencil! I really appreciate it!
For the original artwork its in kinda rough shape, but I should be able to preserve it. I just used alcohol to strip the paint.

I actually bought this game (or one exactly like it) and stripped it. I've done that before with other machines and the original artwork is under the white paint. I have used smart strip and it works extremely well.
