someone had mentioned a glue that is better for ramps, Ambroid-like but not ambroid. theres a couple pinsiders that are good at flame polishing clear ramps, theyed sure know how to repair that crack too.

overall I'm thinking it looks REALLY good. for not restoring players condition improving, I'd think a really good cleaning, water slide decal touchup energy bonus right then a mylar dot over it for the ball dropping, lots and lots of masking, then a good quality clearcoating with an airbrush, let it harden 7-10 days then wax every 2-3 days for building some layers. that'd be for avoiding a teardown. a basic airbrush setup isnt expensive and can be handy for lots of things.

if youre going to tear down the pf, definitely clearcoat the whole thing, even if it's rattlecans and a heat lamp followed with a lot of effort sanding-sanding-sanding-polishing-waxing. it'll look a lot better than cheating it methods mentioned above. better to find someone that paints cars of course, do all the prep and have him shoot it shouldnt cost a fortune and lot better than rattlecan product.
after all that.. I'M JEALOUS, nice score!
