I'll give you a run for your money. A Sky Jump I restored (there was no scrubbing this game down).
Before...

After...
I changed the blue color because I liked the look better.
Also the playfield was really darkened. We think heat was the cause of all this...
Wade Krause repro installed...
Quoted from Schamattack:Did you end up repainting it? Looks awesome!
That's a total repaint, a repro backglass, and a Wade Krause repro playfield. All new bumper parts, flipper parts, and drop targets. Can't remember off the top of my head but I might have put new siderails on it too. The coin door is not a new one, but the coin entrance plate and striker plate are.
Quoted from Schamattack:Do you guys think its worth trying to put a water based polyurthene coating on the outside to protect it?
I use semi gloss polycrylic on all my repaints, not just for protection, but also to even out the sheen of the paint job. It works great.
When I do a playfield, I use ME and 91 percent alcohol, then Novus 2, then wax. Be careful with the ME, if you go too hard, the paint will go too. If you're careful you'll get a great looking playfield as long as it is in decent shape to start.
I've pretty much given up on lower aprons and upper arches that have webbing on them. Quite often they are rusted enough that it's easier to just repaint them and use a decal from Pinballrescue in Australia. Lee and Gordon do a great job on those decals. I don't worry about trying to re-web those anymore.
Quoted from goldenboy232:Is the semi-gloss polycrilic used for playfield or cabinet? Sorry, I'm having a hard time tracking. What brand of paint do you use and where do you buy it? Just like finding out what other guys are using. Thanks!
For the cabinet.
I generally use Montana paint.
