Thanks for th help everyone.

Marty, with the decals, have you actually done it? Is it hard? It just looks like you peel and stick them on to me.

Do you recommend putting a mylar over then once this is done also?

On a HS2 - No.  I've done mine on a T2 which is similar.  The hardest part is getting the old insert text off cleanly.  I was told (not sure if correct) that from factory the text is directly screenprinted onto the insert, not a decal.  Once its removed cleanly any residue must also be removed.

I don't think its essential with the ones I bought but I still put down a sheet of mylar to protect it.  Some may disagree with me, but it is a lot easier to remove the playfield from the cabinet (5 min job) and strip the entire playfield to do it correctly.  If its only the lower half you're doing the decals on, then no need to strip the top half.

Getaway is a very easy machine to strip parts from...You'll also need a playfield stand/jig.  I made mine out of wood - complete ripoff of Nino's original design (matter still before the courts!)...His designs are in the handy hints section...
