Doing a restoration of my Nightrider EM playfield.

Now I need some help. Would anyone please take a photo of the right truck on the playfield? The picture needs to be high res, no flash and taken from a perpendicular angle from the playfield (place mobile on a rack of books).

Any help or feedback greatly appreciated. I attach photo of my current pf for reference.

Thank you so much! I think this will do.

It turned out somewhat hard to work with this after all ...

Would it be to much to ask for a picture with an even higher resoultion and with more ambient light so that the edges turn out sharper?

You my sir, are a true gentleman!

Try to take the photo as close as possible (without losing focus) I'm only interested in the truck itself.

And upload here with the alternative "Original size (no rescaling)"

Thank you again for taking your time to help me.

A small update. I've got in touch with a very nice place that are willing to print the right truck. Of course the machinery was due for some maintenance ("scanlines") but at least I got a test print before they closed for vacation. I applied a decal on a transparent sheet of plastic to check size and colors. But the truck have a white outline around it. I guess that this is something that they would know about at the shop. But unless they don't I'd appreciate some advice.

After struggling with that printing house I decided to change supplier. Now I finally got a result I'm happy with.

Now it is just a matter of clear and and finishing up.

Hi. It's me again. Just wanna conclude this thread and again thank gdonovan for his photo.

Now the final layer of clear cost has been laid and the playfield is polished and shiny as ever. It is not perfect (nothing ever is) but I am more than happy with the end result.
