Trying to restore pinball playfield SUCKS!

(1/5) > >>

mimic:
So I'm trying to restore my pinball's playfield and it blows monkey balls! Cheap way by hand with acrylic paints it leaves paint brush strokes like a mother! Air brushing without ever doing it before and buying all the equipment seems like complete nonsense. Is there anyone that I could just buy pre-printed playfield on like an adhesive vinyl, sand down my playfield, coat it with automotive clear coat and call it a day?
How come these people can get something like that and redo their side art!? Is there anyone that can just print any playfield?


 

ed12:
please note.. both videos refer to side art..
the playfield is a brand new grab bag...
it is largely stated DO NOT FILL THE DIBIT'S WITH PAINT..
your playfield is screen-printed..
all u are doing is filling in the dibit's with paint, which  WILL NOT WORK

 Thank you for the reply, but I'm almost tempted to say "Duh!"

Of course I know i linked to side art restoration. My point is that if side art can be printed in that way, why not restore play field the same way!?

And yes play field can be painted if you are prepared to clear coat it with automotive clear coat like this guy:

I guess you've never heard about Mylar playfields?

ed12:
ya I never went into mylar, as I would have thought the machine would be to old
or before they used mylar
the olny real thing u can do with a bad playfield is to restart it from scratch..
I do it all the time, and it is at best a "b".
