Talk to ron kruzman if you want it done right. The key to this type of work is it's expensive. If you don't spend a lot of money you'll get crap work. To fix all of the areas that are bad on your playfield I would expect to pay 1200, maybe more. This type of work cannot be done cheaply.

This just proves my point. What should you expect for free? GAP should not have done this obviously they have no expertise in this field. But honestly, if you expect it to look even close to nos for free you're kidding yourself. Pay little, get poor work. To get good work its very labor intensive and therefore costs money.

I would not accept an offer like that for the exact reason of what you ended up with. I'm not trying to beat you up on this just consider it lesson learned. Now, you can sand the clear and do the proper touchups and fix the playfield. It won't be cheap though. That's all I'm trying to say. I've seen so many playfields butchered by bad, cheap, touchups that I just want to make sure everyone knows good touchup services are expensive and worth it. Of course like you mentioned earlier I wouldn't pay 1200 in touchups for a 1200 dollar game. But that's another subject.

Not clueless at all. You're missing the point. By accepting the free offer his playfield is most likely in worse shape than it was before. It would be one thing if he could have received the playfield back in its original condition but the failure on the touchups resulted in it probably being worse than it was before.
