I think that playfield restoration is a niche area that I think will be an area of high demand. Artwork touch ups and clearcoating is an area that has not catered for the demand (in Australia). Certainly, there are those that CAN do the work (Like Gavin), but he can only do "so many" playfields before the back log starts.
I've of the opinion that you MAY find more work in the playfield restoration area, because many collectors and hobbyists are waiting for a professional service to become available. I would be interested to know if you intend on providing playfield restoration services on older machines, such as EMs - which were originally more of a lacquer than a clearcoat. So they are not a high gloss finish.
Backglass restoration - again - another niche area. From the typical Williams Red fade (Flash) to the cracking of the wafer thin ink on GTB System one backglasses. Even backglass sealing - as a service ?
Just some ideas - I feel that playfield restoration as a "stand alone service" will be time consuming and laborious, but there is a potentially huge demand for it.
I agree 100% Nino. Tim is blessed with artistic skills and I believe that playfield restoration work will become his bread and butter as there is such a demand for it locally. Once the PinTales standalone services are up and running, I'll be linking and recommending both his and Gav's services.
