Hello,
last year my father bought a Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Although it plays okay. The playfield is in very bad condition and the previous owner tried to restore it with markers and tipp-ex correction fluid. I offered my father to restore the machine. I bought an extra playfield that i wanted to restore and cc. While this playfield was also in a bad condition. The fine art work with the T-800 machines where covered in mylar so this seemed a good first playfield restoration project. By following vid1900 guide and many other topics i started off with the project. Cleaned the playfield as best as i could. Preserved the artwork with a cc. And sanded the layer of cc. It's now in the stage of the attached image.

I would like some advice for the next step. I want to mask the playfield and airbrush the colors. Since i sanded the field it is now kinda dull. Will this be a problem when mixing the correct color? Maybe i should polish the playfield first before doing the touchups?

Also i would like to know if there is another way to appy the frisket. I can put it on the playfield and cut out the sections by hand. But i also have a plotter that i've been planning to use for the inserts. I scanned the whole playfield 1. Could it be a viable method to plot the playfield for each color on the frisket and overlay it on the playfield?

Thanks in advance!
