I've used an Iso free 2 pack automotive clear.
i don't think varathane is real common in Oz

Yep the Clearcoat really brings out the colours of the PF,and adds depth to all the graphics and text also.

Put an astronomical amout of hours into this tho,Unless your doing it for yourself be hard to justify..I recon 50 - 75 hrs on this one...

had some issues along the way which cost me a few rubbacks of clear, and redid the decals once too,Which wont be repeated I have learnt from my mistakes now!

Heres the Final Coat done ,completely flat straight from the gun..

couple of "artefacts" in the coat which always comes from spraying in the Garage debating on weather to use as is or give it a 2000 rubback and buff....

Cant wait for the rebuild process now!

Ok after doing all this work on this playfield I wasnt going to shortcut the final finish step,

 so it got rubbed back again to level and remove small imperfections from spraying it in a garage, with 1500 wet/dry,

then rubbed with 2000 fine wet and dry,

Hand polished with water rub cutting compound (i wasnt taking a machine buff anywhere near this!)

finished off with a fine cut and swirl remover..

Hopefully the results in the pics speak for themselves,My attempt at taking an "Arty pinball shot" %$%

Peter..

I hope when I finally get around to restoring a pin that I can get it looking as good as that - that's awsome ^^^
