What type/brand/model of air brush gear are you using?
I'm thinking getting a entry level gun for solid color touch up. Also thinking reusing my little workshop compressor.
Any recommendation?

How do you cover any larger holes/slots to prevent clear to spray on the underside? Tape?
Also, about the box you made, does it have any support in the middle to keep the playfield flat for clearcoating?
Do you clear after each color pass or is it safe to apply frisket/mask over a recently painted area?
Looking good buddy, keep it up!
Yeah I learned that as well, if you see loose wood, rip it out and fill everything with bondo. When the final paint starts lifting and cracking cause the wood is swelling you'll hate yourself.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Comet Pinball has a glare eliminator. I install it on the inside of the plastic.

Does it work well?
Quoted from pinheadpierre:Much better - some purists will cringe but I'm not a purist. Painting the inside of a cabinet is definitely an upgrade IMHO.
+1. What I did in mine was to keep some wood tone where and could without going crazy with sanding and masking.

What about the underside?

Quoted from Lonzo:and then paint the bottom a wood tone color
I initially wanted to do a contrasting color for the bottom as well but could not think of any that would look better than black...
Quoted from Lonzo:Good thing about it is you can always redo it if it doesn't work out.
I would avoid that if possible
Quoted from Lonzo:These are the ones I am using for the backbox.
These are going to be fine, but next time, try to find something with better sensitivity, up to 96 db per watt. I did not pay attention to that when I ordered mine as well.
The game audio output is very low so it makes the most of it.
Quoted from comment23:Do you have any specific suggestions for those following the thread?
Well, what is suggested me is to get the best efficiency speaker I could get in that size. Also the type of cone makes a difference if I remember. He suggested to look for "infinite baffle" type of speaker for this low current application.
Most importantly, 2 things: to get the most of it and really notice a difference, he strongly suggested adding a woofer amp like these:

They have it in 50 and 75w as well but 25w is a lot. They have built in crossover as well.
Finally, he said that unless adding an amp or the original speaker is significantly damaged, that the original speaker would probably outperformed most newer stuff since they where designed specially for this low current application.
He finished by saying that what I got was a bad choice

Actually, more like a cosmetic upgrade than an actual audio upgrade.
Quoted from Lonzo:Thanks. Of the two I think I will go with white. They are cheap enough that I may order some yellow to throw on there and check out.
If you are to order, totally!
Quoted from Lonzo:I might create them for my next one.
You know Inkochnito have the wrappers ready to print. Just saying. It seems at this point it's all it's missing
Quoted from Lonzo:Plumonium, These pictures should make you proud.
Oh man! I'm sure am. I mean come on!
Very nice progress.
I don't get to spend much time with my pinballs those days but lurking your thread makes me happy.
