The way I would do it would be to scan the playfield, vectorize it in Illustrator, clean it up, and then print it on adhesive vinyl. Then you would cover it in automotive clears so that the ball doesn't contact the decal.

Sounds like a job for MAME Marquees. ;D Hopefully I'll be able to work on it during Christmas break and make a little headway.

The original owner used a chipped ball which killed the original playfield. Use your digi cam and take pics so you have a refence. I was lucky and at the time I had two AP's so I could do a refence check.

How is that game, fun wise?
I was considering bidding on an AP which is located just a few blocks from my house. It's a fixer-upper with backglass damage, one broken plastic, and it looks like cracked paint on the playfield and lots of playfield wear down to the wood. The electronics probably don't work, either. Would that be worth getting for say $80-$100?
ChadTower:
Alien Poker has pretty much the same PF as Laser Cue, one of which I'm restoring right now. It's a pretty good game. The fact that you have to hit the drop targets in a specific order makes it very challenging and the third lower playfield flipper adds a nice twist to how you do it.
