That looks great.. Is there a trick to knowing what the base color should be..could you have done blue first?
I paint in the order that Pimp tells me.
But the base color on these early ss are always what is on the inside of cabinet as well.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Awesome!
Thanks Erik, I'm ready to check out that Panthera any day now...

I can't be sure from one photo -- but so far, I like the blue you chose.
It appears to be a shade darker than the dominant playfield light blue, and a bit less red and dark as the ominous blue in the BG, but perhaps matches the plastics and apron quite well. Makes sense, to be pick something between the extremes of 4+ different blues on that overall composition -- no easy decision to make. (Meanwhile it has to balance with the orange as well...)

Thx.
If anyone is able to get a scan of a good 9ball pf, please contact me. I just need the typical worn out area around the balls/wizard.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:get a scan
googled: site:pinside.com "nine ball" "playfield scan"
first hit:
He had that one restored by HSA so the keylines are a hair thicker than normal, but great result.
I sent that earlier to playfield restorer, but it doesn't quite go far enough.
And that poster no longer has machine.
I appreciate your effort. Thx.

Quoted from Jjsmooth:Got the coin door decals from Pinball Rescue. They get the blue foil around the credit button right. [quoted image]
Nice: I really hate the earlier repos that weren't shiny/foil. I will pick some up from Pinball Rescue for sure!
Great work! I never should have sold mine, though it was necessary at the time. If I can ever find another... this is one of my top ten all timers. Definitely worth the work you are putting into it.

Have you seen a newer set of pics that you are happy with?
The rest of us haven't seen the final.

Nothing like a clean working bank of drop targets.
That is going to be an excellent line up when you're finished.
