Quoted from Nuclear_Waste:

Wondering: on ACDC, since the cannon essentially delivers an air ball with every shot, are the middle of those playfields going to see a pattern of accelerated wear in the landing zone?

Yes

Quoted from Hammerhead1550:

I wonder what they use on bowling alleys? Now those get some serious abuse.

Those are dimpled too. Had to retrieve my kid not too long ago and got a nice close look, if you know what I mean.

That is very cool. I wish I had those cut files!

Quoted from Patofnaud:

Someone recently did a full review here on his experience. Here:

I'm probably going to go that route with my F-14 next fall/winter when I get snowed it. Too nice out this time of year to spend 4 hours a day in the shop.

Sun is overrated!

Cant wait to start dimpling my CPR Firepower playfield! Clean and waxed to prevent paint wear is all I'm concerned with. Dimples are going to happen unless you don't play your games. I play mine.

Perhaps we could use chrome pingpong balls. This would certainly solve the dimpling problem!

Quoted from SunKing:I was just looking at this last night. When I finished my playfield swap, I waited the 30 days CPR recommends for it to cure. But even after waiting, I started to notice a few dimples when I played. I was a bit concerned at first, but figured it was still 100x better than the original playfield, so I wasn't going to let it bother me. Since then I've probably put several hundred games on it. Last night, I was looking to see the dimples, and just like Vid has said, it seems all those dimples have started to even out - my CPR Firepower playfield still looks awesome and plays FAST.

Mine is plenty cured by now and still not installed!
