Here's mine. Except for AC/DC, there are not powder coated, but are painted by a professional with car paints
and clearcoated. MM is a regular one, not a remake.

Quoted from accidental:Some of these games look awesome! Looking for ideas to powder coat my TAF. All I can find on Pinside is one that went all blue as used on the cabinet lightning bolts, but I think I'd prefer to match the purple from the rose, apron and logo.
I went with black as it fits the them. I even had the wireforms and flippers painted black. The wireforms where not powdercoated, just regular auto paint with clear and they seemed to hold ok in home use. I do not own the TAF anymore, but it was nice to have it tuned up

Quoted from modfather:Very nice, did you go with a metallic flake in the PC ? There is so much red in SM, the blue is a nice contrast. Good choice. I like your custom shooter, mad props to that guy who made it.
There is metallic flake in the paint, yes. I believe though that the parts have not been powdercoated, just regular 2K paints I think (they have been made by a professional, so I do not know exactly, how they were painted).
Yes, excellent shooter rod 
Quoted from TKDalumni:Well tuna_delight has the right idea...the lime green on Nepi23's MB is probably a bit tougher sell.
I went with a gloss black powder coat on my Scared Stiff and couldn't imagine it looking better any other way. I think most would agree.
Nooo, green is so nice

Quoted from TomDK:Hardest task was to powder the hinge of the coindoor because chrome and copper powder became to thick. So we sanded it again and got it powdered only in copper.
This has been difficult - each time I have brought my parts to the painter, the paint starts to chip off from the hinge of the coin door or where the inner coin door meets the outer part of the coin door. Is is just question to paint those parts more thin or what would one have to do so that it would not happen?
Some pics for reference from my GB. [Sorry for derailing the topic a bit...]

Quoted from Good-Times:Any thoughts on automotive painting of these rather than powder coat? In my area there's not a lot of volume work with the local powdercoaters, and so for any colour other than a tiny selection of browns and greys, it's a special order (min 20kg of powder)! Ie it's too expensive to get a nice vibrant colour. Thinking my local panel beater could do something decent for half the price.
If I protect the interface between lockdown bar and side rails, I can't see much wear happening anywhere else. It's all home use, what do you think?
I had some pinball armor for my ex-pinball machines made with automotive painting by a professional. I think it worked ok for armor, but e.g. bolts and bolt holes in legs will wear out. But if you are not planning on moving the pin much, it should not be a problem.
