AC/DC Pro - Bell Mod -New >> Chrome or Yellow or Red Complete Bell ??

[Caveoftreasures]

I wanted to get peoples opinions please.

On my AC/DC Pro, I have added the various mods, but still have a few to go, and wanted to get your opinion as to what colour I shld go with ?

I have already installed >

3 x Gibson Red Guitars (these would be soo much better in yellow cause the red is soo dark, I am thinking of painting some yellow)
2 x AC/DC Drums
3 x Mirror Finish Lightning Bolts
1 x Large Cannon Mod (to be installed today if I can work it out)
1 x Lassertriffic Topper Mod (to be installed tody)

I wanted to install the Bell Mod (swinging chrome newton ball which hits the target behind it) *has anyone got a spare they wish to sell ? PM me pls.

**So at this stage, I was looking at the boring browny/copper coloured AC/DC Bell (made from rubber if u didnt know !), and thought that the bells colour, it gets lost in the background, and I was thinking how much better it would look if the whole bell was painted in either mirror chrome, bright yellow like the playfield yellows already, or bright red, like the playfield reds already.

Then I would paint the AC/DC lettering the appropriate colour, matching the chrome, yellow, or red.
(Probably, black writing, Yellow bell, and if Chrome bell, do writing in black or red, if Red bell, do writing in chrome or black.

So if u have a AC/DC machine, look closely at your playfield, and imagine the large bell painted in either chrome, yellow or red, and give me your opinion please.    It will have a chrome ball hanging from it soon which will go with any of the chrome, yellow or red colours.

Pls advise, chrome bell, yellow bell, or red bell, and your thoughts please !
(I can buy a spare bell n keep it inside the machine in stock trim incase I ever want it stock again) 

(Also some photos below to show how the browny/copper bell gets lost a bit, and alot more when machine turned on with glass glare etc. Just click on the photos to enlarge them )

I have never seen or heard of a factory red bell ?

Hard call mate, But after looking at some photos and remembering Pete's awesome machine i think red 'may' get lost also as there is alot of red on the playfield. Yellow i think would be too 'much', so i would consider the chrome i guess or perhaps black?

I have only seen copper, gunmetal grey and gold colour bells in ACDC concerts. Colour needs to be fairly authentic, like Rosie.

If your after in your face "bling" I'd go with chrome with acdc in black! Yellow would look tacky I'm thinking but the bell in red would blend nice.

I'd love to see it chrome it would look stunning.

I found 2 x different colours down the Masters Hardware Store today.

Mirror Gold or Miror Chrome. $15 a can, and enough in one can to do fifty bells.

Still cant decide ?? 

Help !

[studley67]

mirror gold with red/black lettering would look good

[Caveoftreasures]

Ok, got a few pm's too, everyone is saying gold, will give that a go, n take some pictures if it works out OK.

UPDATE

I have painted the large AC/DC Bell in mirror Gold finish, and it looks sensational.
It comes out with a slightly stippled effect, and not 100 percent mirror finish because the bells surface is very grainy, but the gold, in its bright n shiny lovelyness looks 1 million percent bettr than stock.

Light reflects off the bell now alot, and the Gold finish is something I am hoping alot of people copy, because the bell now actually looks like a proper bell made of real Gold.

I dont jump on the other forums, maybe someone like Swinksy can copy parts of this thread over so other people, espescially those on Pinside see just how good the finish is, and maybe others in the USA will start modding their boring brown bells to chromey Gold or Chromey Silver if they like the end result.

Also, with my bell being Gold, and the swinging Ball mod being silver-chrome, they will make each other stand out n compliment each other as well which will look even better.

I will add some photos tonight.
