That should work. 600dpi should be more than enough for simple line art.
TopJimmyCooks:
Here's a quick sample of of the stencil redraw I did. The vector drawing was done full size over the distortion corrected cab photo. The pics is flipped. This is the right side of the cab, which was by far the better of the two. The yellow paint was thick enough that I could follow the edges of it even when overlaid by the black. The long thin lines on the barrel will be difficult for the black stencil since I'm probably going to have to use paper. I may need to leave one or two bridges across there and then touch them up after the stencil is off.

PBJ - .ai files are yours when you're ready.
CT- I didn't get to the plastics scans this weekend but haven't forgotten.

No worries. This time of year I have no idea when I could get to the task anyway.
TopJimmyCooks:
Touchups- I feel decent about the touchup effort. Color matching was easy and fun. about half the colors were nailed out of the bottle. the rest I mixed on a clear acrylic scrap "palette" and painted immediately. Some areas really needed to be airbrushed (large areas of solid color.) I'll look at getting a critter or something similar if I do this on a non Low End Pins game. The keylines look so much better.
I did not have any luck filling the gaps around the inserts with liquid superglue. It was so messy looking I was afraid to keep doing it. I've just filled them with clear, hopefully it works.
I sprayed 2 light coats and then a very wet coat with varathane - I've used 1 can exactly so far. No sanding so far.
Here's a pic of some of the inserts that I just filled.
