These are the three stages of stenciling on a Mrs.PacMan I am working on. Usually people put a giant glossy sticker on the machines sides, this old way looks way better in my opinion.

Mind sharing where you picked up your stencils? Are you happy with the cut/quality?The stencils were about $130 for the entire set.
I am not finished yet but have around ten hours invested so far.
Probably another five hours to finish, hopefully.

Stencils are the only way to go.
I noticed from the pics that you forgot to mask off the top part and had yellow over spray and then you forgot to cover up the registration points. But the last pic looks like you fixed those area. Just curious how you did that- with a roller or brush or did you mask off the stencils and respray the blue?
I'm doing the same thing with a pac-man cabinet, looks good, although the blue looks a little light, back in the day the cabinets were a bit of a darker blue.
I agree mostly. However, I would like to see someone make accurate repros of the actual factory Ms. Pac decal art that was used for the last 20K or so games. That decal is sweet looking and more detailed.
I'm going to disagree a bit here, as I believe the correct color is a bit lighter.
Later run cabs used vinyl artwork that hard a darker blue, but the original sprayed cabs were a bit lighter.
Here's a shot of my DPTwiz built cab, that was sprayed by Brett's friend John Popson. I think it's a spot-on match to the original blue.

TBH, I'm not all that familiar with the ins and outs of Ms. Pac... I just picked this one up for my brother-in-law but it *might* be staying with me. Anyway, I've become more interested in them now and I didn't even know that the last 20,000 used decals! Tighe just pointed out that Ms. Pacs originally weren't the baby blue everyone is using. Mine is certainly not baby blue:

Rich from This Old Game can chime in on this, but here's the little bit of UV color change that I understand:
- Reds fade away
- Blues fade darker
That's why the pinks on your cabinet are nearly invisible, and the blues are darker than before.

I think the decal art is so nice. The crappy thing is the decal'd cabs are particle board and not many have survived in nice condition.
