On the home stretch with this amazing transformation. The aim now is to have the game 100% working with the factory setup, then move to the mods and some custom mods that I think, will really set off the finished game.
Whilst working on the game, the colour LED display was released, and along with the speaker light kit and Flipper Fidelity speakers, it is going to be a busy speaker panel. After doing some research, the speaker panel and apron can be clearcoated, but with risks and there's no long term guarantee that it will last. So Tim advised of an awesome product called "Auto Glym". VERY expensive, but it gives the plastic parts the appearance of being cleared.
Before we start, clean the speaker panel, and mask off areas we don't want the product to be sprayed on ;
First pass - spray on, leave for 5 minutes, then buff off ;
I followed the application process four times, and here's the result ;
Mount the LED Display ;
Speaker panel installed ;
Apron - Same process ;
Metal Ramp - This was a VERY long saga. Can't be chrome plated, better off polishing. Needed to be TIG welded and then back for more polishing and a stainless ramp flap. Looks awesome.
Upper playfield ;
Can't wait to see the finish line !
