Backbox stripe sketch
I’m going to make the lines skinnier, and they will be green to match the cab stripes. Also going to move it up a bit to obscure a portion of the circle around the “W.” I also masked the rest of the Space Mission playfield holes to prep for painting. I’m hoping to do that…

Backbox spray results

Big Guns yellow stencil
It was a really quiet night so I decided to go ahead and lay down the stencils and paint yellow. I don’t think I did a very good job with it. I had quite a bit of difficulty getting the stencils on without wrinkles, and when I sprayed I definitely got it on too thick…
