There are a lot of strong opinions in this thread. 
Isn't the Bally/Williams "Diamond Plate" clear coat Varathane - which is a water based polyurethane?
What does Stern currently use? Isn't it still the same clear coat that B/W used? It sure doesn't seem like it's auto clear.
Quoted from vid1900:You are that guy.
LOL - If pinball machines are collectibles like Ford Mustangs - what does that mean for people modding games, replacing screen printed art with decals, moving to LEDs, etc. and the entire MMr vs Original debate? 
Obviously an "Original MM" is (or will be) worth the most by a large margin (just like this Mustang example) - if people actually understand what a collectible is. The question is - do people view pinball machines as TRUE collectibles, or do they just want a nice game to play?
Quoted from vid1900:No.
It was an adaptation of DuPont's Imron
There were many, many posts for years on RGP claiming that DiamondPlate was Varathane. So you're saying that everybody was wrong for all those years? I don't know, I'm just saying that's what the consensus was for like 15 years.
