this is what i used  :arrow: http://www.wagner-group.de/portal/color_w_660_de_wag,781,360.html no HPLV

one side of my joust 2 turned out fabulous, on the other side parts of the yellow peeled off when i removed the stencils, although i did both sides at the same time with the same type of paint and the same ratio.



because my spray painter doesn't have that much power, i had to use a lot of thinner to get the colors right. not as easy to work with as the promos make you believe, but i'm sure it's easier with water-based paint.

difficult decision for you, i haven't looked into HPLV stuff at all.

btw, i will finally be getting my replacement stencil for the yellow some time next week, so that i can finish the paint job on my joust 2!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Thanks Ully for your advice  :-*

I've found this link:

Stencils on a flipper (ok it's the same thing ...), great result with foam roller  :roll:

mmmhhh doubts increase  :P

Not much a choice scr33n. Go with the micro-rollers and a thin the paint. Do many fine coats, after all stencils are applied, knock down the paint ridges with a fine sand paper then clear coat to make a even finish.

Ok guys finally I can start the thrilling part of this project .... STENCILS  :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :pac:

Remove the protective film and stick very well the stencil:





and now the first coat of white (foam roller method):





second coat:





fingers crossed  :?:











YESSS!!!  White is DONE !!!!  :-* :-*

Remember, always use the same type of paint (synthetic one, in my case) for better adherence between the colors.

Next: Red color

YES!!! well done, scr33n. i'm happy that it worked out. i didn't roll on the paint because it isn't recommended with stencils, but you proved otherwise. let's hope the second colors sticks to the first. how thick is your white color? are you planning on evening out the edges with steel wool or something?

Thanks guys for your support !!!  :-*

how thick is your white color?

I can say the white color is pretty thick (1Kg of paint - 10-15% thin) - I rolled down the white paint several times to smooth the coat.

Are you planning on evening out the edges with steel wool or something?

I don't think ... because the edges are very smooth  :-* :-* :-* fortunately

nice work! - what´s with the PAC MAN´s???

Mine? I used (as Bruno) one year ago, Twobits stickers  :roll: :? ...
