Easy to apply over existing art and yes same art but with mirrored layers to add depth. All 5 pieces ...look at how GNR collectors looks for an idea.

Tron is one of those games you can always add to! It was made to be modded, I don't understand why Stern did not pick up on that when they made it. Also should have done a vault!! Or should do a vault! Until then, we can bling this as much as possible!

Please post pics,

Are radcals installed without damaging the graphics underneath?

I have an LE, I would hate to hurt the game by installing these then wanting to remove them later (although I don’t know why I would)

Myself, and because I have a Tron Pro, I will eventually replace at least one side backbox decal that has a small scuff. So, removing all the decals and installing thicker, high res mirrored decals is a no brainer!

But I see that folks with the LE would hesitate to cover up the original stenciled art. Myself, I don't really like the resolution, so I'd go with high res anytime. It depends on what you like best.

Let's face it, the playfield art on Tron wasn't the best. So anything helps, IMO!

You would not be able to remove these rad cals once installed. The art would look like the original but have much more depth and some mirrored areas. If you have never seen radcals on a game before it basically looks like a clear coated cabinet. Really enhances the look of the game plus these will have alot more depth and sheen to them due to the glossy finish of the material used. They will have a full adhesive backing so all you do is line up the front edge of the radcal and pull the backing away and work your way down the cabinet. Ive installed them on a medeival madness before as well as a dialed in and each took less than 30 minutes to install...incredibly simple.

The LE’s have direct printed dot matrix styled art on the cab... I dont know why it’s not high res, maybe the print company did not have the capability to print high res directly on the cabinet in 2011

If I had messed up art on my cab, I’d probably be all over radcals with mirror, my LE’s side art is perfect, I guess I’ll bow out, but watch the candy show

If these are radcal style are you looking to put them on the plastic/polycarbonate backing?

Removable mods are always better in my book Would be nice if there was a way to do that. I have an LE too.

I understand, but IMHO these would be light years ahead of the original art packaged decals or screen.

I must admit I'm intrigued, however I lack data point on how this would look and whether this is worthwhile the investment. I understand it's not yet available, so no picture, but a few questions in order to help:

- Do you already have some art material to share that would indicate where the mirroring layer appears ?
- I've been trying to find good picture of GnR CE showing the effect, but failed to find a good picture of it with a good rendering. Probably best seen in person, or with a video maybe, especially since you mention "tremendous depth". Would you have a link ?

I need to replace my decals anyway, so that would be a good opportunity...

Note: are those printed locally in the US ? If so need to account for shipping charges (to Europe in my case)

Cheers

I don’t have the file showing pics of mirrored areas yet as I didn’t want to pay for the art files to be created until I know I’m moving forward.

ulmpharmd i'm potentially interested but i'm wondering what your approach with be with how to deal with the bolts?

There are 3 per side in the middle of the art on both cabinet body and also 2 in each side of the head.

I have another machine with radcals on them which doesn't have these sorts of bolts through the middle of the art work.
If they were placed directly on top "as-is" there would be noticeable bumps.

I can't seem to find a good example of the gnr ce mirroring you were talking about.

Closest pic I could find in the gnr ce owners thread but doesn't have mirrored backglass like sections (https://imgproxy.pinside.com/dbHMz3Rshsefc7sfx5v4nm7GXiLnw8VxGjY0kx6nt0U/rs:fit:2048:2048/q:70/aHR0cHM6Ly9vLnBpbnNpZGUuY29tL2MvY2IvMzkvY2NiMzllYjYwMWQwNDQ2MGE3NWYzMzliNjYzMjQ1ZThmM2Y4ZTQxOS5qcGVn)

The holes would be cut out for the bolts just as they are in the regular decals. The gnr radcals have a mirrored /chrome foil layer in the artwork that gives depth to the images. Hard to see in pics. Elvira signature edition had something similar I think. I only need a few more interested people to move forward so keep pm me and we can get started

Hey guys/gals...just letting everyone know that I've got my contact working on the file right now and i'll keep everyone posted once its ready. I am still short a few people of having enough to move forward on it as far as the financials go so let me know if you are interested/in on this one time very limited run. I need about 6 or 7 more people to make a go of it and it make sense

I'm considering doing my own decal, anyone would have good source content for that ? Key element is pretty high resolution, since the output need to be 300dpi at 1 scale.
