Quoted from Mikala:Zinsser clear shellac
I wonder if this would work well for giving wood rails/legs on old pinball machines a shine while keeping the original patina/marks/wear?

Quoted from Mikala:Backboard.
Did you spray paint the backboard with Krylon Kilz?
I was wondering if you decided not to share your restoration until it's completed because I've found that I end up not doing something if I talk about it too much so I've been thinking about finishing my restoration before sharing it.
Quoted from Mikala:I primed everything with oil based Kilz in one gallon can. I just used normal satin white latex paint on the backboard, I also had to rebuild all of the outer edges. A friend of mine sprayed the cabinet base white coat professionally. I not exactly sure what he used.
I covered my backbox board with Kilz spray can to seal it. The lead paint was flaking off badly.
Quoted from Mikala:I took my time restoring the machine, (18 months). I did not want to have the pressure of updating a thread and answer questions as I went along, and yes I made a lot of decision changes as I went along.
Makes sense. I kind of want to finish my restore then start a thread about it but haven't decided.
