So I’ve completed my Safe Cracker spruce up. The Rad Cals look great. It is definitely a different look to the traditional screen printed cab or decals.
I’ve installed Next Gen decals on my Indiana Jones and the main difference I found was the Rad Cals needed way less sanding, as every little bump will show through the thinner decals, whereas with these you would still want to prepare the cab to a certain extent, but it just doesn’t have to be as smooth.
One point of warning: I recessed the cabinet bolts, which gives a nice clean look. However, doing this meant the very back bolts holding the playfield support rails were poking into the cabinet too far, which meant the playfield couldn’t go all the way into the cabinet. I had to file off the bolts by about half a centimetre which was a bit painful. Next time I’d source slightly shorter bolts.
