I agree with you Chad.

I thought I had ordered plastic protectors and ordered a playfield protector (overlay) from BAA instead. I was getting ready to send it back but after these reviews I think I am going to install it. I have some spots with wear and imperfections but have not honed my playfield restoration skills. I think I am going to give the playfield a good cleaning and install the overlay.

2 benifits...nice and shiny, and protects against additional damage/detioration. When I am confident that I can touch up the questionable areas, I can remove and reinstall.

Nice thread guys...

hadn't thought of that...

however, I have an Elektra that has a thick piece of Plexi on it and I see no issues with paint sticking. On the F-14 that I am doing, all the inserts are LED's where the Elektra is stock....I would have thought that the heat from the stock lights would effect the paint to stick more than the LED's in the F-14.

....and the stock lights in the Elektra are, well, somewhere around 32 years old..

I would think so as well....however, I have a Gorgar, a Flash, and the Elektra. I will admit, the ball travel on the plexi of the Elektra is far superior than the travel of the other two...
