Just use the ignore button. Lots of people still ask tech questions and get great answers. I find tons of useful info on here daily. Uncheck the crappy forums like off-topic and you won't have any issues with odd posts, especially after ignoring people you are not fond of. Easy enough. Also, there are lots of threads like this, but they only get like 5 posts on them. People seem highly interested in being in the "know" or something

On that note, man oh man good luck with that pinbot! She looks pretty rough with some pretty funny "fixes"

Yeah, thin layer on them. I'd send it away to get cleared further. Looks real sharp like glass!

You can pay extra at certain places that sell repro playfields for a thicker clear. Someone like ron kuzman is prety affordable on clear coating, but he is pretty booked as well, but worth a shot at asking!

The extra clear looks so great and mine as well see if you can get it done for an extra say $300?

So I went back and forth on this. While it is not an expensive game...there is still tons of work to strip it and put it back together. It sounds like if $300 is going to hinder this then you are restoring it with the purpose of making money on a resale? If so, then yeah ona game like pinbot then $300 on extra/proper clear may be a bit much.

Although, for the amount of work entailed anyways...I'd just do it! If I'm going top spend a ton of hours swapping PF then mine as well go the extra mile. Just my mindset on it.

I wonder if a local auto painter can clear it for a couple hundred bucks? Show him pics and examples of what you want and maybe that would work well

Looking fantastic so far! Cool thread to see the restore pics. Cab sanding and bondo looks great as well.

And holy eff...those targets, lol
