Playfield was previously touched up and cleared by someone else. At a glance it looks okay but further inspection shows ther

2
Shooter lane looks to have some type of resin or very much clear in it.

Big chip cleared right over.This helps show how overly thick the clear is.

4
Mounding into the holes.
|
5
Third magnet repaint is very poor.
|
6
Other side magnet area needs help as well.
|
7
Lots of ground in dirt has already been trapped in the switch cut out and will now need to be repainted to be eliminated.
|
8
Fade in the red bolt type pattern.This should be more of a red not pink.
|
9
Ball trough exit is very rough.It will be shaped up.
|
10
None of the hole cut outs for bulbs etc have been sanded clean prior to clearing so that will be taken care of.A playfield

Starting here will be the reworks.All holes are sanded clean.This takes a good while so here is just a sling area to hig

Shooter lane just looks very thick and odd.There is a crack in the upper portion and a pin hole on the left inner mid wa

Sanded as far as I can go without losing too many plys.The untouched field I have right now to compare to gets down to abo

Another major problem as a result of just having way too much clear on this field is that the recess for the ramp floors i

16
I have carefully rough cut the clear out of the recess.
|
17
I have it smoothed in now.I will be refinishing the area so looks are not important yet.Function is the goal right now.
|
18
Next will need to route the post holes out as well.They are supposed to be in the same height as the recess.Not sure if t

19
Holes are cleaned up.
|
20
Other post hole recessed.
|
21
These holes are likely thickened as well so I will clean them out.This determines how high the lane guides sit.I want them
|
22
Lane guide holes have been cleaned out.
|
23
I think I am finally ready to begin the repair process.
|
24
First thing is to basically strip as much of the previous clear job off as possible without going through.
Not often do
|
25
A close up shows how thick and mounded the clear is around all the holes and have wavy it is.
|
26
Moving onto 320 to start getting the coarser grit out of it.
|
27
It is pretty well stripped down now and flat.
|

Moving towards a final grit so I can start repainting.
|
29
Prep sanding is done.
|

Gumball exit repaired.
|

Third magnet hole repaint in progress.
|
35
Border work complete.
|
36
Other side magnet is next.
|
37
Other side magnet wood tone is sprayed.
|
38
All the rest of the wood tones are just getting a very light super thin coat to mask all the ground in dirt that is trapped
|
39
This just highlights how thin the wood coat is.Ideally you want to see a faint bit of grain through it.
|
40
The shooter lane needs a thin coat of darker tone just to hide the pin holes and cracks.It will be sanded clean again on
