Starting this thread for everybody who hates color gi that washes out and ruins the look of playfield art.
Feel free to post horror pics. Also looking for pics of games you bought that you removed the color gi from ( before and after pics).
Happy venting.
Quoted from DMC:It’s “Better THAN most” mate. Not “Better THEN most”. Don’t you mean “opinion BASED”? And you start a thread calling out other collectors “fails”.
Than start you're own grammars threads If it buggin use lol
( if yous cants tell this one is supposda be all wrongs.)
Quoted from tilted81:Does this not pertain to the newer games? Are we just talking like pre 2012? Most of the newer games have been coming color washed for years, but look incredible.
If they came from factory like that I'm ok with it.... except magic girl but that's barely considered a pinball machine.
Quoted from Taxman:Funny how people come to a thread devoted to people who like the original look of a game and call them haters. If you "hate" the original look of a game the way the designer intended it and think you have better taste then you are the hater. Wrong thread for you.
thank you
Quoted from jmountjoy111:I personally do not like the dull yellow of incandescent bulbs but I cannot for the life of me understand all the pink and blue in this thread. A color here or there to accent I can handle. I will put color in the back of games under solid ramps and I color match about all the inserts but mainly warm white led for me
Welcome to the club!
Quoted from Pmuis:I think most of these machines look good. Not always my taste and ofcourse it can be done very wrong. But you can do a lot of cool things with LEDS. Best thing, if you don't like it, put in the lights you like. LED's aren't expensive and normal lamps are super cheap. No big deal
So next time I'm at a tournament I should just open the games and change the bulbs im sure that would go over well.
Did you read the thread title? I think your in the wrong place.
Quoted from Maken:Have had him on ignore for 6 months up until this week. Unfortunately this doesn't prevent him from stalking me and down voting my posts, which I can still see.
I wonder if the mods can do anything about it? ForceFlow
Quoted from Who-Dey:You are about funny dude. I think you are giving me way to much credit if you think I have the ability to get someone to buy a game, that’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say. Now why don’t you tell these people the truth about how you love downvoting every one of my posts for no good reason other than the fact that you don’t like me. I can guarantee you that you have given me far more downvotes than I have given you and yeah you downvote me for no reason constantly. I’ll make you a deal, you stop the games and I will too ok? If you don’t want to do that though we will play all the games that you want to. You started this not me.
How could he down vote you when hes had you blocked for 6 month. You have over 1100 down votes your ratio is terrible because your a troll.
Quoted from kvan99:Nah, just be ready when I dish it out back to you. Unless you're planning to never sell here. In that case...carry on old fariry. err..fart
If I ever sell a rainbow puke game I'll let you personally kick me in the nuts.
Quoted from Pinstein:I dont know if anyone noticed but the entire industry has shifted to LED's because they're better in every way. Thats real science.
I led almost all my machine. Nobody said they are bad just don't put color in gi
Quoted from kvan99:Come on Mitchie, who are you to tell people how to light their games? I think you should wear hot pants and heels....but do you I have the right to remind you every time I see you?
If I was in the hot pants and heels club thread then yes you could. But I'm not. This is the no rainbow puke club. What's so hard to understand about that.
This is a thread where people go to complain about colored gi. Is that really that hard to comprehend?
If you start a " I love color gi club" thread I wouldn't go into it and start bitching.
Quoted from kvan99:Can we at least throw up a poll for the Hot Pants and heels?
Start your own thread and you can do whatever you want.
May I suggest a title for You?
Maybe.... color gi while dressed in drag club. Seems like something your into.
Quoted from jwilson:It's not ironic, the thread was about Clown Puke LEDs, which is the extreme end of the scale. It's not anti-LED, it's anti Clown Puke.
The above are *good* uses of LEDs. I'm anti-clown puke but I have LEDs in the backboxes of my games.
This is what I wanted in this thread. I started it and I love leds. I do all my games in leds. But gi is either cool or warm white.
Quoted from kvan99:Best thing you've said so far sport.......
Here are a few tastefully lit pins with James' help of pinballbulbs.com as a counterpoint. some UV and blues in the GIs.....god forbid.
Those looks terrible. Looks like a kids cosmic bowling birthday party. Do you listen to 90s dance music while you play?
Quoted from Dee-Bow:You claim it's a "science"... yet you have posted ZERO scientific proof (not even one pie chart!) on how different spectrums affect the eyes and how they(eyes) perceive/receive different colors! So far it's just a stubborn old man's opinion! Agreed on by other old men!
I agree with him is 32 considered old?
Quoted from vwallat99:Was trying to get away from the yellowing look that the black and white playfield gets and didn't want anymore yellow lighting.. To each there own , Everyone I've had come through has enjoyed the look.
I don't like it either. 
You might be in the wrong club thread.
Quoted from FrankJ:New Ebay listing...
"Do you like LED lights? If so, you will not find a game with more! This terminator 3 pinball is loaded with LED strips. They can change color, flash, or remain the same. Two LED remotes allow you to customize your T3 playfield. Their is even a customized LED light behind the back box. A blue light is also under the cabinet. The entire playfield and flashers are LED. The metal ramps even have LED strips added!"
That might be the worst I've ever seen.
Where the problems begin. Only $269 dollars to make your game look terrible.
Have to love the description.
"This is a gorgeous Pinball LED lighting kit for the Demolition Man Pinball."
Quoted from irobot:I don't want to do the internet purse swinging thing.
Do you by any chance realize that you are in a thread specifically devoted to hating clown puke?
My clown puke hating comments are actually appropriate in a clown puke hating thread.
Think you can handle that idea there killer?
No use fighting with a troll. He obviously has nothing better to do.
Quoted from MikeTangoIndia:Totally agree agree with you brotha. However, THE POLL is inviting people in here lolol. Why is there even a poll if you don’t want anyone else in here? One of the poll options even says you can stay! lolol
I think you need to re read the poll a little closer.
Quoted from tamoore:The green neon in my CV drowns the game in green puke. It totally changes the artwork colors the game artist picked!
Wow you totally changed my opinion with this coment.
Thanks for continually trolling this thread. 
Quoted from ForceFlow:Good grief, enough with the passive aggressive trolling, already.
This was supposed to be an entertaining thread like the "pinball horror", "worst pinball hacks", or "craigslist laughs" threads, but if you can't refrain from commenting about perceived personal affronts, drain it and move on and stop raining on the rainbow LED parade.
There is a easy fix ban the 3 obvious trolls.
Wayout440, who-dey and pinfactory2000.
Instead of a founding member of the club MAKEN who stepped a little over the line because of constant trolling by these 3 who go un-moderated.
Quoted from Pinfactory2000:Lol. The entire thread is a trolling thread. People pointing and laughing at others and telling them they shouldn't like things they like.
if a troll thread gets trolled then it shouldn't surprise or trigger anyone. Just enjoy it for what it is.
And here come the trolls again. Just f#@& off already. This is a club for people who don't like color gi. If you like color gi then leave and drain the thread.
You wouldn't go into a twilight zone club thread and say how much you hate twilight zone.
Quoted from Who-Dey:Please show everybody my constant trolling of this thread ok? Until yesterday i havent even posted in this thread for about a month and ive probably posted to this thread like 20 times total and they were not trolling posts either. This thread is goofy and i could care less about it. I also had absolutely nothing to do with Maken getting banned from this thread. If you are going to call me out by name publicly on here at least get your facts straight and make sure that i do what you are accusing me of first ok?
Upvoting every troll post is also trolling.
Bought this spy Hunter a few weeks ago. Owner did custom leds. After removing them all I noticed tons of inserts were really dim. I found they had been replaced with 194 12v automotive bulbs.

Does this qualify me for the rainbow puke club? LOL, it’s beautiful in person.[quoted image]
No it's not beautiful in person. Any one who is a decent player knows this makes it harder to play, harder to follow the ball and strains your eyes.
Its hideous congratulations.
Quoted from PinJim:Uh, I literally am mid restoration. I’ve played maybe 10 games. I’m sure I’d kick your ass at it. Really. Bring your pacifier and blankie, son.
Really though, despite what all of you say, it’s beautiful in person. It’s not hard to play. It doesn’t give me migraines. It’s more subdued in person, and it’s brighter and more pronounced than original. Say what you will, to each their own.
I guess you guys aren’t putting LED bulbs in your 1979 Ford Pintos? Ha ha....
It looks like shit. Straight up. If you dont agree your in the wrong club thread.
Its trash and I'd pay you less for it as you have downgraded it.
Quoted from PinJim:Maybe you're missing the point of my post. I'm simply stating that pictures don't do a good job at representing what a machine looks like in person. The picture makes it look very washed out, when in person, it's not that way. It's over saturated in the picture. Again, not that way in person.
It doesn't look like shit in person. I'm sure you'll disagree, as you seem to be that type. I'll leave it at that! =)
Maybe your missing the point. This is a club for people who dont like rainbow GI.
It looks like shit. I've played at many different locations and houses over the years. Yes it looks like crap. Yes it makes it harder to play.
Yes your a idiot for coming to this thread trying to promote color gi.
Do us a favor there is a drain thread button use it so we dont have to see your shitty taste in LEDs. I've had over 250 machines many I've had to take color gi out of.
I've hosted league nights and tournaments and color gi is one of the biggest complaints of good players.
Go to replay fx the biggest tounament in the world with the best players and you wont see any color gi.
You obviously like to look at your games more then play them.
Once again it does look like shit and always will.
I'm sure you with your 2 years in the hobby and 4 machines will disagree because you think you are right but sorry your not.
I've added your pic again so everyone in this club can laugh at it some more.
Also I must have missed the star trek episode with the purple ships. Which episode was that again? Oh ya none of them because it would just be dumb.

Quoted from PinJim:Well I was following this thread. Not anymore! Good luck in life, I’m sure it’s easy for all of you with that kind of attitude. Lol.
I live a very easy and laid back life. Thanks for asking.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out.
Quoted from Nihonmasa:For your utmost pleasure, here are 2 pins I made.
FH turned out more colored that I had imagined, first time I was using a premade set, and last one. Was a bit worried when I saw the color list.
For the Farfalla, game itself is a Rainbow puke, so I went "f*** it, let's go for it!"[quoted image][quoted image]
Yup those both look terrible.
Quoted from PinJim:Well I was following this thread. Not anymore! Good luck in life, I’m sure it’s easy for all of you with that kind of attitude. Lol.
I thought your whiny bitch ass wasnt following this thread anymore but you kept coming back to downvote my posts.
Get a life bud and move on.
Quoted from PinJim:Let’s both agree to let it go and move on with our own lives. After all, this is a forum to enjoy pinball, even if we don’t agree on LEDs in GI. Let’s drop it and move on with life. Bigger fish to fry like jobs, family and my STTNG restore.
Agreed.
Quoted from JayDee:Also, they last A LOT longer. I can’t stand having even one burnt bulb in any of my pins, and without LEDs I was constantly changing bulbs. Something always burned out daily. Now, I think I only changed one bulb in two years.
And way less strain on all electrical components using LEDs.
Quoted from Mando:Hey, that is mine I had just picked it up. The game is in amazing shape, LEDs can be changed. Why don't you mind your own business instead of posting pictures of my games and my home and making snarky comments.
So you own a game with hideous purple gi. Come to a thread that is against color gi. Then get upset when you see it here.
Why are you here in the first place. It obvious you like color gi, did you just come to this thread because you knew your game would be here in all its purple splendor?
