Very cool, I was wondering if you were going to make your own stencils. You might be inspiring me to fix up my cabinet more than initially planned. I have one side that's pretty nice, other side not terrible. The head is where I have the most damage. Anyway, looks amazing, can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Is that a blackish cycle ramp? Meant to ask that when you posted the previous pics but I think I forgot.

Quoted from pinheadpierre:

It's something I picked up from Marco a little over a year ago. I had no idea at the time that they would become scarce. Thankfully freeplay40 will be making more. His will undoubtedly be better than this faithful reproduction of the often shattered original.

I meant the metal jump itself, not the landing area. Yours looks more black compared to my silver one. Looks nice.

The prior owner of mine made a reinformenr the covers the whole landing area. Looks like just a layer of black plastic with the 3 holes cut out. Not too bad loos wise, better than the cracks underneath for sure. I'd shoot a pic but I'm away for the weekend. It does sounds like Marks will be nice and strong though, so hopefully no need for extra protection.

I think that looks even better than the original. Goes well with the center tube too. Thanks for posting the pic.

Between your pics and opening up my Reese Rails yesterday I'm seriously considering painting my cabinet.

Glad to see you're back at it!!! Looks great, and I'm sure it will be just about perfect by the time you're done.

Looks amazing!!! Will be nice when Mark can finally make the Comet ramp. Mine is not bad though.
