Update.
Play field is close enough finished. Under playfield almost. Need new kicker switch Assembly for both sides. I was stupid to think I could use the old 

Taking inventory for my final parts order.

Apron was stripped back to almost bare metal, primmed, a few black coats and then cleared. Decals applied using the wet method - having used both methods, wet is the ONLY way to go.
Rail cleaned with Jiff, scotch Britte blue and a hell of elbow grease.

Next : Cabinet decal.
