I ordered and received a BK2000 set recently direct from Germany (new PETG type).
The main playfield plastic has a long narrow plastic section that extends up the lane into the ball lock. This narrow
area of plastic was damaged in shipping (bent up). I didn't bother to contact the plastic supplier as I wasn't sure
I would accomplish much trying to get a replacement from Germany and wasn't sure if it was their issue or the shipping
companies so I grabbed a hair dryer and attempted to heat it up and flatten it as best I could. Its not perfect, but its
located under the upper playfield and never really seen during gameplay.
I love the way it looks, I haven't put any ball time on it yet as I am just finishing a few small mechanical things on it
yet but look forward to trying it in gameplay.

I think the gloss of the plastic enhances the LOOK of the colour...probably similar effect of clearcoat, but I don't think it will "hide" any imperfections other than "levelling" areas that may have cupped inserts etc. to make for a flatter surface.

Also, a positive nod to Frank from Playfield Protectors. He contacted me directly thru PM shortly after I posted my previous message on here. Seems like a class act and thats nice to see these days when buying pinball accessories. Thanks Frank.
