Quoted from mcluvin:

I should really get mine cleared. That looks nice.
Chris

Thanks.

#25 11 years ago

It was not bad. I started with freeze method and 1/4 way through switched to a blow dryer.

#27 11 years ago
Quoted from JohnDelNJ:

Wow, looks great! I'm just starting my ES restore. Hope it looks this good when I'm done.
John

Dose your playfield have full Mylar? Did they come from the factory with full Mylar? This is my first system 11 .

#30 11 years ago
Quoted from jhanley:

I can't believeyou got all the mylar off without tearing it up.What did you use?

Started with freeze spray but wasn't working well. I then used a hair dryer that worded great.

#32 11 years ago

I held the blow dry 6" away from the Mylar grabbed a corner of the Mylar heated and pulled slowly . Took 3 hours. But no paint came up At all.

Quoted from cranie:

Looks great! I'm starting my PF reassembly phase now. These extra pics will come in handy as to post color choices
Looks like you lucked out on the inserts. Any raised or art issues?

None are raised. It was really nice under the Mylar.

Quoted from davewtf:

#44 11 years ago

#45 11 years ago
Quoted from JohnDelNJ:

What are your plans for the cabinet, touch-up or decals?

Quoted from coasterguy:

Go Tat!
My Congo pf looks awesome. Thanks again!

Your welcome .

#48 11 years ago
Quoted from epthegeek:

Was that mylar over the entire piece of wood? Like, even the sections the ball never goes? I've never seen that before, yet it looks like that in some of your pictures. Also seems to be much thinner than average playfield mylar when it's all bunched up -- or is that just due to melting?
In any case, your PF looks fantastic!

It was on 95% of the playfield. Under the apron 3/4 was done.
