Quoted from CaptainNeo:Now it's time to start color matching.
I'd love to hear the process of how you colour match. Also, how do you sand the shooter lane. More details please!

Quoted from CaptainNeo:I try to keep as much natural wood as I can, as painted wood looks painted, no matter how good you are at it.
Whenever I see the HEP playfields with that weird not-brown colour in the shooter lane I die a little inside.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Feel free to look through a gallery of playfield restorations instead of a basic thread on just one to understand what is salvageable what isn't as well as the thought process behind it.
I'm talking about this: http://christopherhutchins.com/gallery/album688/IMG_3751
I followed the thread on that game and when you painted not only the shooter lane that weird brown colour but also all around the flippers I was sad, because it 100% looks painted because there's zero wood grain anywhere in there.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Same. playfield different lighting.
See the grain?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - unfair to judge based on photos, my apologies. If I ever see one in person I'll make a judgement then.
