Thanks Nino,

It sounds good but I guess it comes down to price then shipping to QLD, if you can provide me with a quote I will certainly consider it..

I use acrylic paints like others do but I also have acrylic paint pens made by Posca, the black and the white are used mostly as the other colours don't match the playfield colours and can't be mixed. I paint all the base colours then black keyline with the black pen, let dry then brush lightly with a small amount of cabothane clear to seal it. You must seal it before you apply the coat of clear as it can drag into the other colours but not if you seal it first. You still need a steady hand but it makes life easier than trying to do keylines with a brush, especially some of the real thin ones. The tip is .07mm which works out great.

I have actually re painted around 95% of this playfield.. :)

Much appreciated.. Brettski... :)
