MB is going to be coming up on my list shortly...any thoughts on powdercoat colors for the armor?

Without knowing pricing....I would go chameleon (color changing) from Green to Purple. Wouldn’t be cheap though

I just dropped a set of parts for MB off to get coated 'Lollypop Lime':

WMS/Bally armor is stainless steel. You could have it rebrushed to make it look new or if you don't like the brushed look, have it polished and it will look like chrome.

Sorry, but I cringe every time I hear that someone is powder coating stainless steel.

I wonder how my wife would react if I powder coated her Wolf range "Lollypop Lime"?

LOL....I have a 48" Wolf range...It would be cool powdercoated. Viking actually offers powdercoated ranges:

I like the Wolf better though.

That hammered green looks crazy good

I feel like chrome looks the best by far on MB. Gives it a great high-end look. New stainless is a close second in my book. Because the game is so bright and colorful already anything else just detracts and makes it look cheap, in my opinion. Sometimes less is more.

#19 10 years ago

High polished chrome for sure. I'm chriming mine.

I couldn't agree more. Polished chrome or brass, black nickel and maybe black is classy, but the lollipop colors are just wrong.

#21 10 years ago

I debated on whether or not to go with chrome or black, but I ended up deciding on black. I have other chromed games, and wanted something different.
