Looking really good! Agree that the black bolt heads look better. What about the other two silver bolt heads on the front, next to the shooter and Start button? Going to black those too?Black bolts on the coin door look way better imho.
Wire brush and quick run around the buffer then some clearcoat on the speakers to keep the shine lasting ! , don,t know about the 2chrome bolts yet , they are not original anyway , I seam to have misplaced some in all the confusion !Looking really good!

Also, are the speakers new? They're very shiny. Just wondering if you went mental with the buffer and Autosol because they've gone from being that naff electroplated brassy colour to near mirrored steel.
Damn, ya got meYr supposed to be looking at the can , not Abbey !![]()
That's how mine all started , just a clean ! Then a couple of months later it's finally CLEANGreat stuff Lee - hope you'll get to play the crap out of it soon.
I'm about 2hrs off finishing a deep clean of my playfield and the associated tunnels, metal, new ramp flaps, rerubbering, minor lighting mods, LEDs where appropriate, etc...
Really enjoyed it, but ready for a few games now.
Thanks Steve, I've still got the playfield to do properly , I just took each bit off individually and cleaned , and done a temp clearcoat on the topside , just to keep the "wear"at bay Until I find the bottle to strip the whole lot , but atleast it will need a lot less work when it is strippedSheesh, that is one busy-looking playfield. Remind me never to attempt a TAF restore!
Seriously good job Lee, another great pin has had it's life extended another 10+ years.
So much choice so I bought the very same brand off eBay for £4.79 including P&P. I tried "HB body auto clear HS 496 2k clear lacquer 400ml" previously and although it went on well and looked great it took forever to dry and actually still feels "soft" weeks/months later. It's not particularly tough and scratched easily with a finger nail.I am using this clearcoat below. This is what I used on the temp playfield clearcoat

This can take a while to harden and go a funny colour if you try and put too much on at once , read the instructions carefully on the can , and follow , some of these only allow another coat after 20 mins to 1hour , After that you have to wait 24 hrs otherwise it reacts ,So much choice so I bought the very same brand off eBay for £4.79 including P&P.

Lee,New matrix stickers and warning sticker printed , ready to go on lite board once the new white paint is dry View attachment 6244
so what type of paper do you use for the stickers for the lock down bar etc. as that is like a gloss sticky label, and where did you get it from ?Pinball rebel kev
or the lockdown bar , I bought a shop out kit , for the coil wrappers I just used normal colour paper . For the light board warning sticker I used photo paper and normal paper , see which one turned out best , the black on mine looked a bit brown because my printer is not very good. So I did one at work on normal paper and laminated it , just brought that home , so need to replace it with the brown looking one , I've, got a few spare shop-out decals if you need ?so what type of paper do you use for the stickers for the lock down bar etc. as that is like a gloss sticky label, and where did you get it from ?
