    What’s the easiest route for this? Is there a website that does this well that has pinheads approval?

    So you are looking to scan an entire playfield and turn the recreation into some sort of vinyl overlay?

    Any particular game? May already be an overlay of that type available on the market.

    Make sure your scan is to size and take it to a large format printer. They can print on a large variety of vinyls. I own a printing company and do it all the time. The hard part for me is getting the artwork right.

    Cue 9,000 people asking for scans of specific games. And me asking for Mousin Around. Ha!

    If you do this please document the process.

    I don't have any scans. I can just print it.

    Stitch images together, adjust levels and colors, cleanup noise however much you want to, print.
    If you have a laser cutter, it’s very easy and cheap to make a PETG protector also
