could i ask what type of paint do you use to clear pf? how do you tell what type of paint is on a playfield? does it very from maker to maker or era? im guessing wrong product like a car and bam it reacts and all bad? because like car acrylics, anamels, and 2pak paints can cause problems

Unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise. All I know is that they are automotive clears.

For touch up work, I use Jo-Sonja paints. This seems to work well with automotive clears.

if thats the case it might more than likely be 2k, so you get these painted by a car painter? is the jo-sonja a 2k paint?
im just wondering if make of machine or age of machine limits wether you can clear with 2k or not, i would have thought older machine would have used anamels, as anamels where used on almost everything in the 60s, which would mean 2pak would be bad news, but i am no pinball expert, so it is something i am interested as if its ok to 2k a playfield, ill be doing some painting, but id want to sure before i do it, lol,
