On to the playfield. It has had a few coats to seal in the current artwork before it deteriorates any further (previous update). Now the plan is to restore some of the art that needs doing. This is a time consuming process, but I find it enjoyable.

First, the whites need to be repainted. They are dark, ugly and yellowish in areas. I use a frisket and cut around the edges. I will go over the black lines later ;





Here's a section scraped by the metal lane guides ;





A close match with the purple, and a couple of quick coats ;





I usually do sections of the same color ;











Mask removed and paint dried ;








Some yellow as well ;





STRAIGHT after I finished the yellow, my airbrush died. So time for an upgrade ! Meanwhile, I've done enough to "lock in" my work so far. So it went off to be cleared and this is what I got back ;





The black lines around the purple need to be done and the HARD part will be the red sections. But the good thing is that the work done to date is locked in. I can correct what didn't work out and also progress to the next stage.








So i have to wait 3-4 days and I'll resume - with my new airbrush !
