Picked up this 1995 Gottlieb Stargate as a trade in and tore down the playfield to do so much needed touchups and repairs. The playfield mylar had been removed and pulled artwork off some of the inserts, fairly common, they should have used a heat gun and patience and this kind of damage might have been avoided altogether. But I got it super cheap because it was damages.

Here’s a few before and afterwards photos of what was done this morning. All airbrushed by hand, not perfect but it will be great once clear coat is done.

Just about ready for clear coat application tomorrow. Roughly 10 hours of touch-ups with airbrush and detail brush.
Just a few more tweaks in the morning and then 5-8 coats of automotive clear coat.

Clearcoat done and will probably put another hour in to wet sand, polish and buff before letting it sit for a few days. Reassembly is next!
