I recently found a gorgeous TFTC and am finishing up a full teardown. I just finished up my topper. Take a look:

Quoted from ImNotNorm:

Nice! My wife agreed to do the paint job on our topper this winter...I just need to provide her with the paint.
What kind of paint did you use?

I used testors enamel for the lettering as I wanted them to be high gloss. It took two coats of each color, wait 24 hours between coats for drying. I used watercolors on the mouse, bat, and hands so they would be flat finish, not gloss, to look more realistic. It's easy to mix and blend watercolors to achieve texture and shades.

I just finished restoring my Tales From The Crypt. This was a nice mostly home use machine when I got it that hadn't had the glass off in many years and just needed a good going through. Everything came off of the playfield. Every mech under the playfield was removed, cleaned and rebuilt with all new coil tubes and flipper rebuild kits. LEd's were added, soft white behind the translite, cool white for GI, and inserts were all color matched to deepen the insert color. GImaestro board was added so no more flasher relay clicking noise. ColorDMD was added, topper was hand painted and Crypt character was installed next to it. Ramps, wireforms, and all metal bits on top of playfield were bright buffed. Playfield was also buffed before ten coats of wax were applied. Mirror blades were installed and new playfield glass tops it all off. Picture album is here. enjoy:

Allan Davidson in MA is excellent for board repair. Fast turnaround and fair prices. I wouldn't use anyone else. http://www.ardvarkpr.com/

Did you ask Cliffy if he could make you a custom protector if you send him a template?
