After looking hard I can see one area that looks touched up?

Overall, a very good result. How fast do these things play when clear-coated?

Thanks Dave,

The test will be how it plays.  A little bit easier on the eye, but not collector quality.

Although I am happy with the levelling.  I think the method I used by building up the clear layers, put down insert decals then clear up again seemed to work.  Maybe another coat may have brought it up even closer but I think its right.  Although the next shot is not the best - the area around the clock inserts (which were all removed, reglued and levelled) with insert decals is pretty flat.

Playfield is back inside with side rails on to cure.  WIthout the side rails it tends to bow slightly so put them on whilst the clear is still soft.
