Moving into some new territory for now.

The vinyl on the side rails for the playfield was torn.  I am not aware of any suitable way of replacing this, so they have been primed and painted in automotive 2K.

Fair bit of work in removing the vinyl and glue!

Next was the lamp board in the backbox.

This was also sanded back, primed and painted in 2k gloss white.  I went with this as a bit of an experiment to see if it helps bring out the colours in the translight.

Time will tell once the loom and LED's are installed!

Looking good.

From personal experience, a coat of gloss white brightens up backbox incandescents 10 fold so with LEDs should make a big difference especially the wide angle types.

Either way good to paint over those lamp heat burn marks!

I have the warning decal and fuse list files if you need them. ^^^

Beautiful result Marty .

Awesome job there Marty.  The translite does seem to pop more - is that mainly due to the 2PAC white painted lightpanel ?
