Does anybody have a good paint formula for restoring the bare wood areas of playfields? I know that HSA and HEP have a specific way of doing this that always looks great. I know it involves using a transparent base of some kind to let the grain show through. I think it looks really nice in most cases and when done well is hardly noticeable.
My dad and I have tried mixing a good color several times but it just never seems to come out right. Any of you playfield restorers have a good formula for achieving this? I have included a picture from a HSA restoration to show you what I am talking about.
