Hello
« on: May 04, 2010, 01:34:28 AM »
Hi,

I'm a 36 years old male from Belgium and i started a year ago with pinballs.

I already restored a beat up TFTC and Scared Stiff and currently i'm restoring a couple of playfields for other people.
The level of restoration you guy's achieve is impressive, i am just trying to do the same  %$%

Looking forward to browse a little more on your excellent website, keep up the good work.

some pics of the things i've done so far








No more painting outside when doing multiple playfields, a spraybooth is the way to go and then a drying rack



anybody an idea how to prep the insert lenses of a WPC game when replacing the text,
it needs to be slightly opaque and now after a coat of 2k clear they come up cristal clear (like new stern games)
Originally this was achieved with sanding sealer, but i dont know where to get it or what i am looking for  !@#.

Welcome, and well done on those restorations!

The spray booth or something similar is essential for clear-coating; there are too many airborne particles outside.

Are you a spray-painter by trade, or do you have a friend in the business?

Hey,

thanx for the warm welcome.

@ ajlaird:
No i am not a professional spraypainter,
i just rent the spraybooth after hours from a car repairshop.
The SS cabinet was sprayed outside at
dawn (the morning dew tends to keep the dust particles in check)
in the summer (temp has to be over 19 degrees celcius) and
i didn't have any major problems (one insect landed in the fresh paint and started walking around  ^&^, but that was buffed out)
i did the SS playfield  in my workshop and it came out real nice,
but there is only enough space to spray 1 playfield.

makes me think about the way Dexter prepares a room before killing someone  *)*
