Some amazing looking pins in this thread 
Just wanted to ask you guys who have done your ramps what method holds up best for metal ramps, plating or powdercoating? My Goldeneye ramps need restoring and I was going to get them replated but looks like a lot of people in here have powdercoated their ramps, just wanted opinions from people who have had experience. Thanks
Quoted from rotordave:That'd look the same as any normal Tron. But glossy.
rd
I know that's why I want to see it in all its shiny and glossyness 
Quoted from MustangPaul:Oups...thanks rd. Gotta pump the biz a little now and then. So many people out there have never heard of them.
I think everyone on Pinside has heard of them 
I know a few people here in the U.K with them and they do look cool specially on a TRON they look killer
Quoted from MustangPaul:Yeah well if I'm gonna spend that kind of coin I want a "little" flash for my cash. You should see my gameroom.
If that awesome green is anything to go by, lets see that game room 
Just wondering if any of the powder coating guru's could help me out, when I get my BM66 I want to powder coat the right ramp as the left ramp is already powder coated red, is it the same exact process for powder coating a chrome ramp as it is cabinet armour? And can you get a metallic flake effect in the powder coating or would the wire construction of the ramp have to little surface area for it to adhere without chipping? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
Thanks for the reply RD, yeah sorry I should have been more specific and been clear I was talking about the wireforms but I made that post at half 3 in the morning after getting back from a house fire so proof reading wasn't even a consideration
It nice Stern have done a powder coated habitrail but I will definitely want to powder coat the one they have just left chrome.
If the factory powder is not great then I will probably redo it, have one wireform blue with a purple flake effect and the other red with a gold flake effect - subtle Batman & Robin colour schemes.
Quoted from Colsond3:I wouldn't do any type of metallic flake on the wireforms. All the ramps in my BF were redone, and they have held up relatively well (and I play the shit out of that game, as do most guests). The PC guy went a little lighter than the green I had suggested and presented to him (which was close to factory), but it still looks great. I know Paul recently had his redone also along with his armor, I think in purple. Stick with a solid color, and make sure they coat the hell out of them. I have a few nicks and trails in mine at this point, but they still look great compared to what they were.
I spoke to a local guy he seems to think he can create a flake effect with a very fine flake (he used the word dust) just to get it to catch the light and sparkle, he also said if it doesn't give me the desired finish and function i have described and showed him that he will strip them and re coat free of labour charges and just charge me at cost for the second coat so all in all it will be worth giving it ago
Quoted from ita47:I just finished these two up and finally get to post some pics in this thread, ton of work but worth it!
Love that white armour! Some blue leg bolts and levellers would finish it off nicely 
but already beautiful
Quoted from Stones:No one has posted one in this thread yet.....gotta be a few out there....
Most I've seen have just been chromed out, I wouldn't mind seeing some powder coated, I'm thinking I might do mine with some sort of UV reactive blue/purple inspired by the forest scene at night.
Quoted from MustangPaul:You got that right, I'm about to find out how all chrome is gonna look on my ST Pro.....well not the coin door anyway.
Should look awesome Paul the new films are very clean and clinical looking, loads of white and chromes with lots of lights/leds and lcd screens, chrome should look great on your pro be sure to post pics as soon as you get it back on its legs.
Quoted from jokerpoker:Some more chrome from my old collection a few years back for the chrome connoisseurs fiberdude120
But then you need to play with these on if you have bad OCD like me
Sorry back to powder coating lol
Hulk and XMENLE look fantastic, curious what colour would look just as good on your POTC, Gold? 
Quoted from MustangPaul:I haven't had mine done.
Well hurry up then Paul we are waiting 
Quoted from Skins:For those not following my restore thread. My powder coated Flash Gordon.
Wow possibly the best Flash Gordon I have ever seen, love the laser cut side rails they are awesome.
Quoted from Colsond3:Ron at Pinball Plating & More was doing it, but he recently sold his company off to Chris who runs HRA.
Thanks, I will get in touch with Chris and see if it's something he can do now he has Ron's hardware. Need my Goldeneye gun shooter made to look new again
Quoted from Robertstone0407:Send it to me, I can do chrome, black chrome. Fair prices too
Could you do a Goldeneye gun shooter? It has plastic areas on the casing, is there a process to restore those?
