Stern, 2019Quoted from rockrand:Looks like disco nights?
It’s actually called Peacock Ore, see pic below. It’s mostly a dark greenish color with some blue flake, that shows a subtle purple when the light hits it. Sorta unusual. Turned out nice on that game, with the greens and blues.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/original-afm-powder-please-vote
So I have the powder bug and debating my original AFM (see voting post above!) otherwise I just got a CCr with standard chrome parts. I feel the chrome matches the guns and theme well though and not sure the gun metal gray is worth the change. whats everyone think?!
figure I’d come here to the powder junkies lol
I have powder coated this machine in black, red, and green... If you get the right orange it would definite pop... Maybe something like this?
Otherwise a customer posted his AFM LE in a red that I did for him, which I think looks sweet and he was very happy with the results.

Thanks, Steve! The poll I did mostly shows support for being a purist and sticking with chrome…but guess what that’s super boring! Steve and crew what do you think about this? UV glow reactive neon green with gold/silver flakes? I think I’m in love.
Quoted from Toolpros:Can you match the James Bond LE color for coin door and speaker panel?
I'm working on this... A customer is shipping me his parts and a hinge to match the 007 LE color.

Wow that's bold... I'd say go for it.

Please look into an equivalent bluish teal as well. That's what I'm thinking of doing my Refinery Edition YOLT Bond as.
Thanks Steve!

oh…my…dear…god
Great looking Iron Maidens. I’ve always been a fan of that art package. Really fun game too. I do have a question for the Iron Maiden diehards…I’ve always wondered why the target shot is slightly to the right of the ramp in front of it. Is that just how the geometry worked out? Or is it intentional that the target is not centered in the middle of the ramp? It’s a very unimportant question! Just something I always notice.

Not sure if you would be able to hit a bullseye from the left flipper if it was centered .
Quoted from Kkoss24:Not sure if you would be able to hit a bullseye from the left flipper if it was centered .
Ah, good point. Shot geometry to allow bullseye from both flippers makes sense.
Quoted from atg1469:I couldn’t be happier with the purple color Steve helped me with for my Godzilla. As always, pictures don’t do the work justice which is why I forgot to post sooner. His work is exceptional!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Wow, that color POPS on that Godzilla!!
HemiOrange09 Your work is amazing! I am looking through this thread and drooling all over my keyboard looking at all the finished product and trying to come up with ways to convince the wife to get this done for my Deadpool (and future Godzilla)...
Any Oktoberfest examples? I searched but couldn't find any? Looking to have the coin door only done and not sure what color to choose.

Thanks for the kind words....
Just let me know if you would like this done and send me a PM. I will be happy to go over all of the details with you.
I will be posting more pictures soon for the jobs that I have done.

Hey Ken,
Yes, I recently did an Oktoberfest for a customer. He called me yesterday and said that he will be posting some pictures of his machine soon on this thread. He picked all of the colors out for the look that he was going after. He did the cabinet armor in a nice medium blue and then all different colors for the wire return ramps.

Awesome. Can't wait to see it, maybe it will be the right color or colors for the coin door.
I get lost when I look at all the colors on the Prismatic Powders website, lol
Quoted from gliebig:Is it hard to take off the factory black coating?
Yes, I have/pay for a local company do this for me and their process strips it back to the raw metal. Powder coating bonds really strong to the metal/raw metal and it has to be done right to remove it before you powder coat.
If you powder coat over the wrinkle black, sure it will work, but it has trouble bonding and in time there is a good change it will chip, flake or fall off. So I always have it completely stripped and then prepare the metal before powder coating it.
Thanks for asking .

Are you looking to match the factory color?.... He totally changed the colors on his machine.
Here are a few pictures of a Bay Watch machine that a customer dropped off to my place to have me powder coat the armor and wire ramps....

No, I think the Coin Door on this Oktoberfest needs to be unique. The game already has so much "keg" brown, which is nice, it just needs some orange-red or cinnamon-ish color on that front with some attititude.
Here we go! HemiOrange09 Steve check it out! Could not be happier with this color. Under normal light the green matches the UFOs on the playfield and art blades. It also has large silver flakes in it which really give it a retro feel (important to me since this is an original restored game). Under blacklight it is absolutely amazing! And the playfield greens also light up which I wasn’t aware of! This is Danio Green from Prismatic Powders.
Install took awhile to ensure I didn’t damage the decals when removing the old side rails (my first time). Took the opportunity to do some touch ups of the cab while I was at it.
My buddy is borrowing my STh which Steve also did for me in Sassy Pink (also uv reactive)…when I get it back they will go side by side. I am not a huge blacklight guy but its cool for parties!
