The last couple of days i have done bits and pieces, nothing too drastic but the tumbler got a thrashing.
Metal parts from everywhere is being tumbled daily in order to be ahead when it comes time to re assemble.
Flipper bases and associated metal parts were stripped and cleaned. A full flipper rebuild was on the cards but i still cleaned the old parts.
Whilst waiting for the shift to change over for the tumbler (tumbler has been running 24/7
) i decided to tackle the back board that sits on the very back of the PF. It was going to be sanded,painted and then a decal was going to be installed on the front side of it. The face that faces the PF is normally just black so i wanted to spruce it up a little. The decal was purchased from my friend at RTBB.
The metal from this board was placed into the tumbler. There is only 2 small support brackets that hold the delta and beta ramps.
The back of the board was then sanded and masked and the front and sides were given a light coat of paint to freshen up its appearance. Once the paint had cured i gave the front of the board a sand with 1200 grit so that the board had a nice smooth and clean surface for the decal to be stuck onto. I then wiped it down with Shellite and an aftermarket decal was installed.
Pix 1 is of the board all ready for the decal.
Pix 2 is of the decal installed.
Pix 3 is of the decal installed and cut out. Finished.
I was very happy with the results as it turned out awesome and not one bubble appeared. I always do my decal applying the wet method way. Doesn't matter how big or small the decal is!
