I usually really don't like adding extra color in place of white inserts/GI but this actually looks really good! Like there was a bit too much white on the pro. If this were mine I would replace the incandescents with retro Cointaker LEDs, provided they have zero ghosting, fade just like real bulbs, and come down in price. 
Beautiful looking machine NP,I've been taking care of some semi-serious real life adventures lately,could not comment on your homemade LE before today.NICE!!!
Quoted from robin:Last question, why is your collection set to private? I believe I speak for all Pinsiders when I tell you we're curious to know what else can be found in the Nimble gameroom
I absolutely respect NP's reasons for his internet choices,(Like having some things set to private"
I sometimes regret how much info. I am actually providing "OTHERS"
Quoted from pinball_customs:did you buy the powder coat kit somewhere or get it made for you?
Also I'd love to hear more on the coloured GI bulbs
I just bought the extra pieces from PL, stripped them and gave them to my friend for the powder coating. The GI bulbs are a mixture of blue, yellow, amber and red. When I go for the full LED version, you might see some minor changes... I must admit though, the colored incandescent bulbs are starting to grow on me.
For Crashdance...
The Retro's are really nice bulbs to work with for GI and older EM pins. I use them in exposed areas where the bulb is visible. I was told by Cointaker that they would eventually go down the list of bulbs to have a full arsenal of non-ghosting LED's. It would just take time...
I just can't wait to get a simple frosted GB!
As for the "Privacy" thing,
It is still a public forum (like V8 implied) at the end of the day.
I just like to keep things simple in my life but, I am always down to meet up with fellow Pinsiders at the yearly expo's. Just look for the plaid pants and Adidas...
I will be back for the "Mark-III" unveil soon.
...And here it is!
Full custom CT LED array and the CT LED flipper button kit.

Sorry if the colors seem washed out, I swear the machine is much more vibrant in person!
(My camera has been acting up lately.)
Anyway,
It was a lot of fun doing this project and I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks again for all of the kind words,
See you on the next one!

Beautiful machine Nimble, love the shooter rod.
I put different colour LEDs for ramp stages - white, green, blue and then red. Mirror blades look awesome too.
Look forward to seeing V3

But was he in plaid pants?
Quoted from Aurich:But was he in plaid pants?
Always.
Quoted from jarjarisgod:Always.
Every time I've seen him he is sporting the plaid. 
Saw him briefly at CAX this year. I should of called him, I only got to shake hands and say hello this year unfortunately. Shame we'll have to make up for that next year. Hopefully he makes the trip up for Pin-A-Go-Go next year since PPE is no longer happening.
