This here is why you don't just slap decals onto of others and call it a day.

The steel pressing at the bottom of the playfield the holds the rules/pricing cards and covers bits and bobs. A lot of them weren't properly primed in the factory (I think) and the black spray paint bubbles - yours doesn't look too bad compared to mine.

Interested to know what Cabinet Decals you are going to use and what you think of them.

Bought them a while ago.

Its a custom thicker set from a guy in Europe.

I forget the name as it was months ago.

No but I do have a Monster Bash set from him to apply.

I believe its from the guy who does all the printing for PinballDecals.eu and Retrorefurbs etc.

The normal set uses quite a thin orajet material which I'm not a fan of. The thicker set although more matt in appearance then gloss are thicker and do a better job at dealing with the imperfections on these older cabs. Even with wood filler the seams around the filler can show through quite easily on the cheaper sets.

The solution is either resin fill or buy thicker decals. I choose thicker decals :D
 
The best decals I've applied by far are the Flyland design ones. He uses REALLY thick decals and super strong glue. Super punchy glossy colours too.
 
Second coat down on the interior. Sprayed the first coat of black on the rear.

This took some extra effort to restore as the rear left corner was pretty destroyed.

Also a sneak peak at the interior colour. Will leave the primer to cure another day.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Cheers Paul

I used Peugeot Indigo Blue on my FH cab, someone on the forum recommended it, and it was a great match, not Radcals though.
 
Had to sand down the cab in the bottom and recoat. Wasn't happy with the level of gloss.

This time did a light coat on top.

Much better.

Not a fan of gloss to be honest it's unforgiving if you don't spread evenly.

Went round Ants yesterday, need to get me a spray gun like his 😆

Decals going on.

The prints a bit off on the decals for the coin door. It was a choice between centering the pipe hole cut out or keeping the text letters at the bottom complete.

I went with keeping the letters.

Print quality is good and thick. It's moccat instead of the usual orajet materia.


Will update with more pics later.
