Quoted from Av8:I told you guys to Mylar the shooter lane. This was a complaint with TF. It only cost 50 cents. pinball life sling shot Mylar works perfect.
You can still save it.
This "before" picture is great, but can you post an "after" picture with the mylar in place so we can see how it looks?

What is Hard as Nails? I've never heard of it. Is it a clear coat or a nail care product? Link should be nice. Thanks!

Quoted from J85M:I paint all my shooter lanes with Hard as Nails. Use a small crafts paint brush and paint it all the way from top to bottom of shooter groove and eject hole so far so good 2000 plays nearly on TRON LE no wear, probably the same on my IM 2000 plays maybe more no wear, SM with painted shooter lane no wear or cracks in paint 500 games played. It's probably over kill but I do about 10 coats!
Oh Cliffy why did you have to go and tell me you make a shooter lane protector for Tron that fits IM and SM, might aswell buy 3 of them now which will nicely go with my SM, IM and Tron ramp protectors, yeah I surrender take my money Cliffy
Quoted from Anim8ormatt:this stuff is exactly why i would have really hard time dropping 6k on a new game.
I've restored a bunch of 90's Williams machines. One thing they all have is damage to the shooter lane. You clean it as best as possible and just leave it. When you buy a new game, you are more sensitive to this type of thing. I wouldn't let having to install a $30 protector or $0.50 mylar stop you from buying a new machine.

Quoted from Kcpinballfan:Do any of the Cliffy protectors fit on the jukebox and bell kickouts for ACDC Le? I want to buy the shooter eject protector but also those as a package deal.
I put a strip of mylar down the lane under the bell. I made sure it ran right up to the lip of the shooter hole. This seemed like a good spot to put mylar. During multiball a few times I saw the bell smash down on a ball that had rolled up underneath and pound it into the playfield. Plus, who knows what kind of stuff could happen once the magnet is activated under that lane??
