    Quoted from Norcal:

    And I told him I only need a playfield swap and a cab paint

    The pictures look like this is exactly what was done. Did you not agree on a price before this work was completed? This doesnt look like a restore, it just looks like what you requested, a parts swap and painted cabinet. It is hobbyist level for sure though, the cabinet prep is not good, but if you just asked for the cabinet to be painted, he did that.

    Stenciling cabinets is a hell of a lot more work than decaling them (the prep on the cabinet is the same though), so I dont know if you can compare your time on the TAF to this SI, it is two completely different worlds. If you want a better idea of how tedious the stenciling process is, you could have sanded the entire backbox of the TAF and screened it instead of masking and spray painting, and then think about the amount of time that takes, then apply it to the entire cabinet with multiple layers.

    I dont think there is a winner here, hopefully you guys can work it out, and hopefully you had talked about a price before the work was done.

    If your argument is that he opened this thread with "professional restore", then I understand where you are coming from. But if your argument is that he didnt do what you initially asked him to, he definitely did what you asked him to.

    Good luck to both of you.
