In all honesty I left it to the coater guy. He finished it in sparkle lacquer for extra protection.

Thanks Col, I think I know the colour match and I’ll ask him to add a sparkle coat too

Finally plucked up the courage to remove the lift trim from my FG back glass.

Went for my own variation on the hang it upside down technique.

Backglass upside down, top resting on the sofa. Holding the lift trim with a hand either end, gently jiggle one side then the next. After about 10 minutes it was off. Thanks fcuk for that

I’ve got to go through that pain soon. I’ll try your technique

It’s the third one I’ve ever done, and the first that hasn’t damaged in some way.

I had intended to put some long wood batons (longer than the glass) on the lift channel, and tap them with a rubber mallet

It just feels wrong doesn’t it. That was my thought but sending shocks through valuable and decades old glass…..

Yeah i hate doing it. Getting it back on is more stressful

Sounding great now, Pinsound 8” cab sub wasn’t worth it but the 5 1/4” backbox speakers were worth it. Needs tuning in though to get the best in the menu but worth the time, added a Servo 15 sub that I had spare and now

Big thanks to @Poibug today we worked on pulp fiction pop bumpers. The factory switches are rubbish so we swopped them out for some I got from pinball life. Pops are far more responsive and hopefully will last without constant re adjusting to get them to respond
