IJ playfield as it arrived.Looks decent overall.

2
Shooter lane is a bit rough .Not from wear but just from manufacturing.

3
A close up shows there is some deep pores and voids in the plys.I will try to work that out of there as well as possible o

4
Switch cut outs look pretty good.Once I really clean and prep it I will know if the ground in dirt is coming out or if it

6
Most of the inserts show wear at the borders.

7
I will need to refinish all the borders on this playfield.

8
Mode start hole and target bank cut out need some work but neither will require filler.

9
Single drop shows ground in dirt mostly.

10
Top lane looks okay.There is some dirt and tracking but it should clean and sand up without the need for repaint but I c

11
Underside will need to be stripped complete.T nuts removed etc.

12
T nuts and other hardware are removed.

13
Playfield is now in the paint shop.

14
Mylar is removed.

15
Shooter lane has two small cores that need to be dug out.This is done to make sure everything is solid prior to cleaing

16
These are the cores dug out.It is really just a cosmetic issue but I could not truly sand the lane up right without r

17
Repairs are being made just a little filler to make it solid.

18
Sanded lane.It will be lightly refinished in the damaged area.The wood tone used will be extremely transparent so the n

19
All the holes need to be cleaned and sanded out to eliminate the ground in dirt.

20
The switch cut outs and other through holes need the same.

22
Holes and cut outs are sanded clean.Takes quite a while to get each light hole,sling and switch cut out.

23

24
Target bank has it's initial rework done.It will likely need some light refinishing but that will be done after the first l

25
Mode hole area will also benefit from a little refinishing later.

26
Top lane and switches look to have sanded up well enough to avoid repaints.I will know for sure once cleared.

27
Shooter lane is being worked a bit.

28
Shooter lane unmasked and smoothed back in.

29
Repair looks great.Should look even better once cleared.It can also be tweaked at any point of the process if needed.

30
Ready for the first clear application.

31
First clear applied.

34
After it sets a few days I will sand it and begin doing the repaints.

35
Playfield is sanded once again.

36
Cleaned and prepped for repaints.

37
The swich cut outs will be refreshed because they have some ground in dirt at the drop area.All will need to be done in

38
The mode start and lock area will also need to be refreshed because of ground in dirt.

39
Woodtones refreshed/sprayed in the areas needed.It is a very light and transparent finish.

Next will be the very tedious task of masking and repainting all the insert borders.Most have chipping and wear.
