A tip with Fathom and Centaur - Be CAREFUL once you have painted the cabinet as the top ball gate WILL chip off a small section of the headbox trim. This can happen raising and lowering the cabinet.
Keep up the good work !

Bugger. Thanks for looking though. Extremely hard to find. Perhaps Haggis will have parts available in the future.

I just take the cabinet to my paint supplier and get the colours matched and mixed.. easy peasy and they usually get the match pretty damn close. 90% of the time i'm doing a total repaint so it doesn't have to match 100% i tell them.
That blue you've chosen looks pretty good to me, i'd be happy with it. I have a Fathom coming up in the queue for a repaint in the next few months myself!

They also provide the correct finish as well as subtle details. An example is the purple fleck in the grey on a Quicksilver base. I was shocked at how right the color match and finish was.

Metal removed from your eye ? Damn. Are you all good now ? I once accidentally sprayed thinner in my eye and just the mist was so painful !

had to go to a specialist in the end on Tuesday so it has been mucked around with again.
I suppose as you get older it takes more time to heal.
Fitter and machinist so I have had this happen before over a 30 + years in thè trade.
Will hopefully have the cab undercoted .
And maybe the first coat of blue..

Every weekend it has been raining. Doh
Have made some progress after work.
Most days I finish at 5.30pm.
So it has been bloody frustrating as I would of liked to have the base colour on it.

Was having a think and I thought I would put the playfield in my Centaur so l could play it sooner..
Change the back panel..
And a few boards.
Hook it up and play..
Hinge mech in a different position.
Umm
