after being away for a year and i have the itch to finish my astroid deluxe. so can anyone tell me where i can pick up a astroid deluxe stencil? and also the color code. this may be a dumb question but what is the best paint to use when spraying a stencil? oil base ?? thanks for any and all help on this, and its good to be back
 
The art for the upright cabinet is actually screened on vinyl. Is this what you're referring to? Would it be possible for you to post a picture of what it is you're trying to fix?
 
sorry wrong game

im looking for a stencil for my space invader deluxe, but i will also need the screened on vinyl for my astroids deluxe when i go to restore that one. sorry about that both games are sitting next to each other and both need the sides redone. but right now im looking for the space invader deluxe stencil.
 
thanks, now here is a dumb question i have never done this before are they re useable? lets just say since this is my 1st time trying this if i mess it up can i strip and re use the stencil? or is it a one and done? thanks again for the link i will be placing my order today
 
The stencils are vinyl and a one time use
SID is pretty easy just 2 colors
and theres some great tutorials over on the RotheBlog.com
 
I posted some tips in this thread:

PM me if you have any specific questions. It's intimidating, though very do-able. If you have a scrap of plywood, I highly recommend finishing it how you'll do the basecoat for the game, as practice. You can then cut some shapes out of contact (adhesive backed) shelf paper, as a test stencil. Use the scrap wood, with the same paints, etc.. you want to use on the project, as a test run. Sounds like extra time, but it will save you time.

It's 2 stencils per side (Blue and White) and there is no kick plate stencil. That's why I've been holding off on doing mine. I kinda wanna do it all at once.
