PF looks great under the mylar, should come up a treat.
Do we get a test game before your brother takes it away?  &&

Love it when the mylar comes off so well and reveals a nice playfield like that.

Looks like my share in Rannex will be going up I think judging from the state of the lock down bar mech! What's the rest like rust-wise?

Looks awesome Daniel, what was the preperation as I need to do a few aprons.  How did you prepare it for painting?  How did you paint Spray pac?  What type of paint?  Sorry for all the questions but it looks great and as stated I need to do some of these.

It was pretty easy i sanded it with an orbital sander back to bare metal.   Gave it a few coats of pressure pac primer and lightly block sanded smooth with 1200 wet rub then gave it a light coat of color and then a thicker coat to finish off.   I hope this helps
