I'll take the "2" off and make these available for Firepower as well. Thanks for the plug Gorgar666 !

#3689 3 years ago

For the first Firepower. Center decal and ring are both chrome mirror, whereas the Firepower 2 picture has an "oil slick" chrome center that shows different colors depending on lighting and eye movement.

Yes, I would definitely go with translucent red. And I'm with Gorgar666 on the standard chrome center not being as good as the oil slick center.

I added both the Firepower and Firepower 2 sets to my shop so you can order with ease. Please note each listing has variations for standard chrome centers or oil slick centers.

Don't want silver chrome? That's fine as well! I have every color in chrome, except yellow or orange. Just be sure to message me. All orders come with transfer tape for center decals and outer rings.

Xtraball and AirWolfNH I would order the LED rings while you're ordering from pinball life. Also, thanks for orders so far, everything goes out tomorrow!

#3708 3 years ago

Xtraball

My problem with the red rings in the clear caps, is that it takes on a pinkish hue. (see first pic)

I did a couple pictures of the FIREPOWER Decal using Comet's red LED rings on red translucent caps (I'm out of the Pinball Life rings at the moment) The second picture in this group shows that there's a little bleed-through from the LEDs. So, as shown in the second picture, I added a non-metallic red decal on underside of cap to minimize the LED dots. I personally think the dots are cool, however if you guys want to add the filters, I'll make an option available in the shop to add them.

Da-Shaker Since i keep interrupting your questions about playfield protectors, thought I'd throw in my 2 cents lol.

Pros: Protects the playfield, obviously lol. Creates a smooth surface over raised/sunken/cupped inserts. Makes ball move much faster.

Cons: This really isn't necessarily a bad thing, but game play is different- if you look at ball, you'll notice it's SLIDING and not exactly ROLLING most of the time. Like I said, not necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem like game play is different somehow.

#3711 3 years ago

That idea has been in back of my head for awhile, shhh! And totally forgot the LED rings only come in the wedge base- looks like you better add some of the wedge base sockets to your order Lol!

#3713 3 years ago

Lol! If you're not interested in changing out the lamp socket, Comet Pinball seems to have a couple different pieces that could easily create the transition you need from the socket type bulb to a wedge base using their "Matrix" system

#3716 3 years ago
Quoted from Pin-up:

Any chance you'd be interested in making the chrome decals that go onto the Laser War pop bumpers too?

I'll add it to the list! Always best if you hit me up on my thread for reference.

Definitely a harder install than my other sets which have solid rings, but well worth the effort. Looks like they came out good!
