Dealer's Choice. I'm going to try to repaint and clear coat this playfield. What's the best way to retrace lines/details and lettering? For example, I will have to retrace "Electronics" in the copyright. I will also have to redo some of the details in the cards. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Also, what type of pink is used on the playfield? Is it like a neon pink? When compared to normal pink, the playfield pink looks much brighter and bold. Same goes with the yellow near the "extra ball when lit" and around the rollover buttons in the middle around the numbers. It almost looks yellow, but also looks like a neon yellow/green. Any advice?

Not that terrible a restore prospect considering all the straight lines and geometric shapes. Use Vid's guide and do it in his order. It's all systematized and well thought out. Any other approach is likely to give you headaches unless you've really honed your own process already.

For the correct colors, look for areas that were under a post, that will give you the closest match
