Cool thanks Marty. I would like to put a mylar over the top I think. I am going to try one decal first, one that is not too visible incase I stuff it up. I will have a mate over (TSPP) to help as he is a little anal about these things and will have more attention to detail to help. Once we do one and we understand the job then I guess the rest wil follow.
In regards to putting a mylar over the top, is that just like applying contact paper, I assume you litterally just roll it on.
I am more than happy to have you and Nino over when we do this to provide your wisdom,hint hint,wink wink. The fridge is always stocked with Beer.
I will definately post before and after pics as wel..
With the shifter, what is used to remove the old decal, same stuff, novus, shellite etc?
P.S Marty, this better be an easy job!! you always seem to push me out of my confort zone. I am still drooling over your restore pics on your machine, your T2 looked good also.
Hehe...Mylar is definately a two person job. There is a technique which I learnt from a member here - cannot remember if it was Retropin or Nuggy....Maybe try a search on here otherwise I'll post a couple of pics as to how I do it. Someone else maybe able to improve on my method..
If you are doing the entire playfield, its best to remove it from the game and put on a stand and remove EVERYTHING. My first mylar attempt was trying to get it down around things (ie bumpers, posts, switches etc... No Good. Speak with Mark and find out when his guys are doing some and see if you can watch.
Re the shifter - to be honest I cannot remember. If its an old decal, heat with hairdryer and remove, then scrub with shellite to remove residue. I thought mine was painted on, which I just cleaned and went straight over the top. If this one goes bad no dramas and easy to fix...
