    I would seal what is there with a clear coat before proceeding with a paintbrush . Unless you did that when you mention you tinted the playfield.
    Also , are you going to restore the numbers with freehand painting ? Using decals would be , in my opinion , efficient and more accurate .

    Quoted from F-2NIRO:

    actually, I seal with clearcoat layer between each important work, to protect on the one hand, and to allow the stencils to be well sealed.
    the numbers and letters are not made by show of hands, it's a technique that I gave up a long time ago since I bought a cameo (cutting robot) that allows to do a job as clean as decals while being more reliable.
    I prefer painting with decal, there is always a risk of reaction with the varnish and to get the right shade with a printer is really very difficult, except of course the black.

    Ok , did you measure or scanned the exact location of the letters you are about to restore to make sure everything is put where it was ? Since everything is covered by paint now.

    Quoted from lint:

    you must be new here. look at F-2NIRO's post history. he has it covered.

    I am not questioning ability or method , no mention on letter positioning though made me curious .

    Quoted from F-2NIRO:

    “ ...everything being done with a brush.
    at first, there is the transfer of the pins to the pencil (type HB) and then they are painted with the same size brushes, 5/0 and 10/0...”

    Beautiful way to restore a playfield .. 5/0 and 10/0 are my go to brushes for playfield restoration.
