The Playfield ended up needing (well it didn't "need", I just "wanted to") a bit more work. The bonus inserts were slightly sunken and I thought it was best to remove them, level them and then re install. I avoid levelling any inserts that have artwork on them, as this is not really a "High End" playfield restoration.
So here is what I started with after many sessions with Magic Eraser and alcohol ;
Inserts removed and leveled
These inserts will also be removed and I have the area in front of the outhole to attend to
Inserts installed and leveled ;
I gave Gavin (Retropin) the dimensions of the inserts, and he sent me down some inserts templates to play around with - rather than use a sharpie. The were VERY easy to use and the results were promising. I've replaced the STAR rollovers as they were old and grubby.
I've done some of the STAR rollover inserts using the templates. I used my airbrush to paint the borders.
Bonus area ;
Some lines needed to be done
Bonus area completed
The area I need to touch up is lightly sanded and then masked. I then had the wife match the paint and then I built up the area with the divot and blended in the surrounding area ;
Done !
The playfield is ready for the next step !
