Just a couple of before and after pics of the Stern apron Anna and I just did a resto on with a new Pinball Rescue decal.

Looks sweet ^^^

Those guys turn out a high quality product - wish they would do the later Stern ('rams horn') design as I am too lazy to try myself with waterslide decals.

cheers
Ian

Hi Nino

Rubbed it back with 600 and used semi gloss vivid white. Didn't bother with primer.  However, there was a couple of tiny slivers of bare metal where the ball rolls along it from outlane drains.  Just had to give it a tad more spray time in that area to make it stick.  Haven't clear coated it.

Good work Rod - Now you might need a strip of mylar where the ball drops from the outlane and runs into the outhole. Just a suggestion.
