Any recommendations for clearcoat products and how to apply it to a playfield?Never found anyone who did water transfers myself , I simply get it printed to a sticker . Bigger places would laminate the sticker or simply put Mylar on . I get only get them done and then put eight coats of clear during a full restoration to protect but in this case it’s a sticking plaster solution required . Either way ring around . Get the art done and then see what u want to do with it. My daughter does mine so come back if really stuck
I've tried both (white and transparent - my printer doesnt print white, and the section of playfield wasnt over an insert) - but the colour doesn't seem to come out right on either, it gets very washed out. I tried the laser printer version - and with my laser printer it didnt work very well. I may try a professional print shop with the same product.Ive seen they do white or clear water slide paper - which would work best do you think?
Put a ruler next to the graphic and take a photo . Find a local print shop who will vectorise the image . It’s a really simple thing for them to do , go in a few shops and one will be able to do it
No worries, others on here may give better water slide colour adviseAny recommendations for clearcoat products and how to apply it to a playfield?
Thanks
I wanted to try and restore a playfield once, the story is linked below. I tested waterslides to death...

@Moonbus This post gave me the kick to attempt a playfield restore...
Would really like to hear which printer and decal product you used to get the quality prints you achieved - do you mind sharing some details?
Didn’t realise u were in Yorkshire , I could do a paint touch up if not too far if all else fails alan
