Replacement plastics - how good and variable is quality?

[BomberHQ]

I need to replace most of the plastics on a DE Star Trek 25th as they are faded to almost white.

Ive never bought 'new' replacements online and can see 4 or 5 places sell what looks like very similar kits, and a couple mention being licensed. I wondered what the quality is likely to be? Im guessing, fairly consistent if theres one recognised global manufacturer?

Any advice/recommendations gratefully received

Hold off buying till you get some replies! Quality is variable, some suppliers are terrible- printing not aligned, fixings out of true etc.I don’t have enough buying experience to point you in the right direction.

I have bought a few sets for different machines and had no problems with quality .

I’d also recommend CPR as above. I’ve used theirs plastics quite a few times and have found the quality to be really good.

I wouldn’t suggest Pinball Center. I find the quality sub standard imo. Probably ok if replacing 1 or 2 but not an entire game.

Planetry pinball sell licensed plastics for some games, however I found that the backing paper used ons few of the sets they sell, so sticky, it sometimes removed parts of the artwork.

I even tried soaking it to try and soften it but I still had issues.

Definitely CPR

If you can somehow go back in time and stop Wayno being born, then the best plastics ever, were Chile Pinball

Definitely avoid the Pinball Centre. I bought WH20 rocks from them, sent them straight back. Their plastics are only good enough for a machine you don’t care about.
As above CPR are very good, recently got a full set for my WH20 from Marco, they are perfect in every way.
