I pulled the mylar off my whirlwind and the playfield is in great shape, only very minor touch ups needed. I'm trying to decide if I should reapply a mylar set or if I should brush on polyurethane.
I am not set up to spray 2pac, and I don't want to strip the whole playfield even to spray rattle cans...I was 100% going the mylar route until I stumbled across some threads showing brush on poly with what looked like great results.
I like the idea of the poly because you can protect the whole playfield, not just the areas covered by the mylar...but, if I wax before the mylar goes down, it can come up again, whereas removing the poly will require sanding the playfield down to nothing pretty much, it's irreversible.
This game is not collector quality, but is a very nice and clean player and will likely live the rest of it's live in a home use environment.
So, just looking for opinions. Thanks!
