I removed my Mylar very easily. The worst paint loss was on raised inserts (decals available) and by yagof's face. And by the pop bumper. I tried freeze spray for a bit, then tried "goo gone" finally I just pulled it back slowly taking care as I went.

After the Mylar was removed I used multiple coats of goo gone to remove the glue. The goo gone needs to sit for 10 min befor you take it off. *dont confuse it for goof off, that removes paint*. And the final bits of glue I just rubbed off with my fingers until it balled up and could be picked off.

I had to touch up the paint on the faces, and around the pop bumper.

I have full LEDs. For under inserts I used super brights. The above playfield are cool white.

Under the inserts I used cool white for "123456 and release" I have warm white for "kill, alpha, bravo, ect"

For the back box I mixed it up with different colours. Originally I tried using red bulbs behind the f-14 logo, but didn't like that and switched to cool whites. I like the cool whites but stole the lights for another game when I took these pics. Behind the jet I used blue, yellow for explosions and orange for the farther out bulbs. I think it adds to the picture in the translite. And I have a red pinscore display
