Hello Fellow pinsiders,
I have a beautiful restored original AFM and have been adding some mods to make it a little more slick looking (art blades, speaker panel, and alt Brian Allen translite on the way). Considering powder coating and wanted to get some thoughts on the following options. Please vote here!
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks everyone for your opinions and votes. There clear winner is to do no powder and stay chrome. Then some kind of AFMr LE-like green was first choice of actual powder. Think I will try that but also keep my chrome parts on hand to go back to OG as needed.

Quoted from KJL:

I have done about 10 of these WPC game restores and have always liked the original steel with a few chrome (TAF) or brass (IJ) mixed in but did my AFM in powder for a change and love it. The red really helps the art stick out which pictures dont do justice.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
