Hey guys. Wanted to know what you think about how my CV looks after restoring it. Let me know what you think...IMG_8739.JPGIMG_8741.JPGIMG_8742.JPGIMG_8743.JPGIMG_8744.JPGIMG_8740.JPG
Hope I got this right.
The restore looks nice although I am curious about the white powdercoating. The cabinet is decaled with black accents, so the white really contrasts that heavily.

Amazingly, I didn't even notice it until I saw this post. White, huh?

I didn't notice either. I thought it was simply a reflective finish until I saw that mentioned. Now that I see it, it doesn't seem to fit the color scheme.
Everything else looks nice, though
People that don't like the white really mean to say it looks like crap and i agree with them. The good news is that it can be redone which i highly recommend. I mean HIGHLY as in if i had money i could piss away id paypal you it just so you would change it to avoid getting your pinball ownership license revoked.
Man......that really makes me regret selling mine back on 2007.
Nice job on the restoration. All you need now is a set of backbox scrolls.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:do not like the white at all. Not outside or inside. Stands out way to much.
HOLY SHIT!!!!
For once, I agree with Neo.

I wonder of you could find purple powder coating, to match the scrolls. That would look great against that green cabinet.
How well does the powder coating hold up?

I call bullshit. Over the past 10 years, there have been like.....4 times you agreed with me.

No it doesn't. Someone else had that done and it looks like shit too.
Quoted from radium:Don't paint the head white. Please.
Quoted from TrainH2o:All you need now is a set of backbox scrolls.
Yeah, PLEASE don't paint the head itself white. Not a fan myself, but if you decide to keep the white trim, buy the scrolls, find a matching white paint and color-match the scrolls. This may help bring things together a bit more and you can easily remove or change the color if you change your mind.

No....seriously.....that white looks terrible.
Looks great! I like the white, I just had all metal parts on the outside of my cftbl done in purple so wild colors are alright with me!

Nope. When you are trying to get out of a hole, first thing is to stop digging.
I like what you have done to it, looks nice. I also see a DJI quad copter in the third picture, do you use it much?
