I have new Mirco playfields in my Whitewater and Totan. If you get nice ones they are great. I had to return a Totan one that was warped, but Mirco replaced it and the replacement was perfect. My advice is to let them sit for at least a few months before installation to ensure the clearcoat is fully set.

Quoted from Ashram56:Good morning,
I'm located in Europe, happy owner of an Indy which is however in need of a complete playfield and decal restoration.
For the playfield, I essentially have four options:
- Prep the playfield, and apply a full playfield size overlay
- Prep the playfield, and arrange for a full size playfield print (yes I have access to someone who can do it - but it's brand new territory he only printed this particular playfield on overlays)
- Custom restoration by an expert (2y leadtime...)
- Mirco
Mirco option is dismissed by many on various forums because of multiple issues, art and color deviation for ex, but also clearcoat quality (as exhibited recently with the infamous GnR playfield issues). I've seen a Medieval Madness Mirco playfield which color rendition was miles away from an original.
So I'd like to ask those who went the Mirco route: happy with it ? is art repro consistent with original ? Did you add any additionnal clearcoat ? No issue with clearcoat pooling ? Given that they advertise they use the same clearcoat as JJP, this does not really inspire confidence...
Also looking for cabinet decals. There are multiple options from multiple vendors, including from Mirco, the so called Radcals. I would welcome however a pointer to "original decal" seller, hopefully located in Europe. Also, it seems the radcals require less cabinet preparation, at the expense of alignment and the need to cut holes ? Can you elaborate on that ?
Thanks and regards
I have installed Mirco Playfields my Whitewater and Totan and the finished results are amazing and the playfields still look amazing after a couple of years with plenty of plays on my Whitewater. I have not had any of the issues I have seen report, however I always allow the playfield to air for 5-6 months before installation to allow the clear to fully cure. I did have to return the first Totan playfield I received as it had issues, but was able to return it straight away and got a perfect replacement. My advice would be to go with Mirco, but check the playfield over fully when you receive it, then let it air for 5-6 months then you should have any not issues. I also have some CPR Playfields and think we are incredibly lucky to have these options available to us.

I bit the bullet and installed an updated antidote today. It was easier than I thought. The bad news is that I got a close up look at my POA and realised it has bad planking. My main playfield is perfect. Does Mirco sell the POA playfield on it's own or does any have a good one having done a full playfield swap.
Quoted from pinballinreno:It gets very little wear.
Wax it and just ignore it.
You can replace it during a full restoration.
My Indiana Jones has had a full restoration and is mint apart from the POA Playfield. That's why I am keen to replace it with a better one or a Mirco if they are available on there own?
