Classic arcades sells a decal set for firepower. They are fairly thick so not sure if you want to go that way.

Good luck with the restore! FP is a great game...

All those coin door decals are on inkochnito's site if you want to print them out yourself.

That looks incredible! Nice job!

So you basically have highly polished raw steel and stainless steel. Are you putting something on them to prevent rusting/oxidation?

For the lockdown bar, I would go Evaporust. It will get into ALL the nooks and crannies and only takes 24 hours. Then sanding it as smooth as you want will be a bit easier without having to worry about the spots you can't reach with sandpaper or wire wheel.

I have the Firepower and Blackout back glasses from Planetary. Both are pretty bad and I would not suggest you purchase one unless your original is 50% flaked off or completely missing.

I didn't have a problem with the mirroring on mine. The main problem is the color saturation (black and red are virtually transparent for example) and the colors are off (red on on FP is horrible).
