    I have nearly 3/4 of a gallon of clear left from my recent JP work.

    Is there anyone in the area that is looking to have a playfield clear coated? Im thinking a lower value game that you are working on. Send your high value work to the few guys on here that do this for a living, I'm just looking to get a bit more experience under my belt and use the remaining product before winter.

    I'm no newb (nor pro) when it comes to spraying and just purchased a new gun that I want some more time with. The product that I'm using is Napa's Finish1 FC720. The gun that I'm using is a Iwata W-400 which is new for me as of the JP clear work.

    I've cleared 2 playfields and my JP cab so far (and a ton of car and ATV parts over the years). First playfield was using SpayMax 2k which seemed too costly so i switched to a non aerosol. This Finish 1 seems to be more work on the buffing end tho. I'll likely switch product next time around hoping to find a good blend of ease and cost.

    Anyway... $150 to have your playfield cleared including final color sanding and buffing. I don't want to ship so this will have to be for the locals. I would also consider some touch-up work.

    I don't want to get into a pissing match with those doing it for a living, send them the valuable stuff.

    Quoted from cavalier88z24:

    very cool. I might take you up on it. I'm local and have a shadow CPR coming. can you take more photos of playfield close ups? and outside natural light? or is it populated already.

    I'd probably skip this one.
