hi I'm just about to start a restoration soon and looking to buy decals from planetary pinball and just wondered what they were like to deal with and what was the import tax like. Great work with the pin this thread is what brought me to the forums cheers lukeSo the latest as of a few days ago....

What machine are the decals for ?
You may be able to get better from elsewhere. All depends on what title your pin is.
It's for whitewater cheers
Have you tried onestoppinball?
I didn't no that website existed I'm looking now thank you
Not everything is listed you may need to email him
I have sent a email is there a big difference in quality from what company you use or are the pretty much the same cheers
Just make sure you buy from a trusted seller.
Best for me are the next gen decals, they don't fade like the orignals so are better and the quality is top drawer.
Try all the british sellers first Pinball Heaven , Pinball Maina etc. first, as buying abrord can incure import duty.
Try direct for the next gen decals Mr Pinball AU if no luck with the British sellers.

Think that's where one stop gets them from I can rem having to wait for my back box ones to come from oz
I agree with Russ, they are good quality but I've just done a comparison with 2 sets of TOTAN decals I have, one set old stock and one set Next Gen. The colours on the Next Gen set (on the right) are quite a bit out from the originals (on the left), almost a green instead of blue? Might not bother some people but I'm using the original set for my restore.
That is a good example of the colour difference and I know for your rebuilds you want the best possible. It also looks like there are less dots so hatching can be seen.
Luckily I am partial colour blind in that blue/green area of the spectrum so would happily take either set.

What company do you use for your decals
I've bought decal sets from everyone. I always try Phil at Pinball Heaven first, then everyone else. I generally find that shipping from Australia (Mr. Pinball/PSPA/Planetary) is less than what the US companies charge so I go to them first. Always scour the eBay site too, that's where I've bought most of my NOS sets from.
All my pins are in the garage so fade is something I no longer have to worry about!
Have you ever bought decals from highclass pinballs based in Germany
Not decals but other items, and I can recommend them 100%.
Yeah, he's a top guy but (IMHO) a little pricey sometimes...!
We see them at most of the European shows/comps. Straight off the top of my head is he's always at the DPO and is in Martin's 2011 report here:

Also in Berlin earlier this year (Mirco is in the Black and Blue striped jumper):

haha - The cab etc is minty complete, however rather than slot the old PF in it seems rude to do half a job - so it'll be a few weeks yet before it's complete.... Looking to get Wh20 complete before Christmas, before then moving onto addams If all goes to plan. Which it never does. Need to get another load of stuff plated before I'm onto the large pf....
