MINI MICRO UPDATE
Yesterday and today i spent some time working on the apron, prepping it for a decal. I'm going to be using a Pinball Rescue apron decal on this rather that making my own. This morning i PayPal'd them the money for the decal for this one and one for Wildfyre, so i should have them, in a week or so!!
Anyway, 1st pic is of the faded and crappy apron from this game. I completely stripped it back to bare metal, then, after a wipe down with Prepsol i hit it with some acrylic primer, followed by a black guidecoat.. just black acrylic (2nd pic).. a trick i learned from my time working with my brother when he was a panelbeater/spraypainter. This will (hopefully!!) stop me rubbing thru the primer and back to bare metal
. (stop sanding when the black disappears.. well thats the plan anyway!!)
I sanded back the primercoat carefully with 400 wet&dry, wiped the apron with Prepsol again, then sprayed on several coats of acrylic white. It is now ready for the decal when it arrives.
