What's the plan with the repainted areas, going to clear over them or just wax it up well?
Just wondering what your thoughts are basically.
Wax, as you will see below.
Time for another update. After the touchups, here is how the playfield looks.
It was now time to apply wax to the playfield to preserve the paint that has lasted so many years already. In this case, I used Meguiars. First was an application of Novus 2, then the wax.
I did not attempt to remove any further dirt from the upper rollover lane area, as the paint is very delicate and I did not want to risk paint removal. Not the ideal outcome, but nevertheless fine by me, as the paintwork is as good probably as it gets.
The condition of the paint immediately around the pop bumpers was just starting to be affected by the hammering of the ball from the pop bumpers. The game did not have any mylar rings around the pop bumpers, so I applied adhesive ones to preserve the paint.
The playfield was now ready to put the parts back onto it. First order was new posts. These really stand out, and the whiteness of the posts is much, much whiter than the faded, discoloured “cream” posts.
