Hi Nino,

You said that you clear coated the playfield before you started any re-painting and then more coats of clear as you went along to lock in repaired sections. Can you advise what clear coat you use and do you do that yourself or do you send it out.
Thanks and regards,
Dan

Dan - I don't do the clearcoat "in house", as I don't have the expertise. The older playfields are sent to a friend of mine that has mastered the process that I like working with. These generally take a lot longer (Genie, High Hand and Bow and Arrow), but I do all the touch up work as that part of the playfield restoration is within my skillset. The Clearcoat product - I don't know the exact name, but I will find out for you. The distributor is literally within walking distance of my Factory.

Regarding the status of this playfield restoration - more hours of linework and a couple mistakes I had to fix. Hopefully the stencils for the cards will arrive soon  #@#
