| 8BitMonk:
Getting ready to paint and stencil both a Joust and a Pac-Man restoration I'm working on. I think I'm going to roll the solid colors including a primer and try sanding/wet sanding to limit any orange peel. I'm not sure if I'll roll or spray the stenciled colors, leaning towards rolling, may depend on the color match and whether I can get certain colors in a rattle can. I've heard to leave the stencils for 24hrs. before removing. Any other advice appreciated! |

I would not roll a stencil. Sure it can be done, but I think it would go on too thick. Rattle can is the better option and HVLP is the best option. |

I actually already rolled the Joust paint job, you can see the results here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150909.0.html Turned out pretty well, you can tell there's a texture but it still looks decent. Probably had to do more touch up than I would've spraying it, I'm going to try an HVLP gun for the Pac-Man and compare the differences. |
