OK. Thanks for the replies and insights guys, I always like to keep everything original if possible. Gav has a point that there are a limited number of pins with repo's. So this alternative is not always an option.
My colour matching skills are also pretty ordinary as well, so wasn't sure if a playfield swap was a feasible alternative compared to an timely restore. Also have seen Gav's and Tony's excellent work on this forum and I must say that there is no way these skills are picked up overnight.
I have a CPR Xenon stored away for future use as an alternative, as my wife really has been on my back to move my favourite pin SI because she can't stand the artwork. She has also taken my cashcard..
I feel your pain ! I sold my SI because my wife was spooked by the backglass. Replaced it with a Medusa - Go figure !!
