Quoted from High_End_Pins:

When it comes to plated leg bolts I find them problematic very often. They look great
But the threads are usually overplated
They are often only good for one use

Have you ever considered Titanium Nitride coating? Its a bright shiny gold and super durable. Plus its so thin that it wouldn't matter if the threads got coated. Probably cost about $3.25 a bolt though. Not sure if thats high compared to plating or not. I do coatings like this at work if you're interested I could run some samples for you. I've been trying to figure out what some good pinball parts for coating would be, as most parts you'd want done (wireforms, armor, ect) probably wouldn't work do to just the restrictions of the process.

Quoted from xeneize:

Painting a SoF cabinet should really be something, Chris. On my unit, the cabinet is the worst element, and without stencils (which logically can't be produced), I have had no other option that to consider putting decals on it. I simply haven't been convinced it's bad enough to justify that.
Definitely looking forward to watching you delve into that project!

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but why couldn't stencils be produced? Just too intricate or some other reason?

Thanks for sharing these stories/rants with us Chris. I hope at the very least it brings you a little bit of mental relief to get these things off your chest.
