I think that it needs to be heated slightly from underneath while you do this, then epoxy from the bottom when its in the correct place, so it doesn't move again.

I think the general idea on this is to avoid using sharpie. I would touch up with some acrylic paint, like createx.

I think that if you are not going to clearcoat the whole pf, just put spot mylar over any retouched areas.

I would put mylars around the pops

My responses are hopefully in line with Vid's opinions in his restoration thread, but I am going from memory.... check here to be sure. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-guide-to-ultimate-playfield-restoration

I'm also restoring a RK. Have you completed your restoration? Curious to get an update on your progress.

Hi zio

I'm also restoring a RK, just have the cab to finish.

The pin had been sitting in a conservatory for I don't know how long which would explain the delamination and fade to grey on the head and the red fading to orange on the cab sides. The red on the pf has also faded to orange but doesn't look bad at all.

There was major insert lifting and a rubbish touch up job covered in mylar on the pf.

I have re-painted the cab a slightly darker red and am not going to put the "Williams" logo on it because IMO it looks shit The top part of the pf has also been painted a darker red as, due to the fading, I had no idea what the original colour was It doesn't detract from the overall appearance.

Here are a few before and after pics.
