If you're doing new ramps, don't forget to ask Curly about this little missing decal. I'm great-full to him for making some after I inquired about it.

Quoted from Skypilot:

So I"m having a few issues with the coil wrappers. Three of the wrappers are yellow and the replacements at PPS are green and blue.
Before anyone instructs me to make my own, I can but choose not to . PPS's wrappers are made of a waxed paper that is close to original.
Rick is working on this .
My question is this . Did theychange the color system at Williams in the late 80's?

If you can reach Rick, I had the same issue with my Taxi, and called him, he just made the correct color for the coils I needed based on what my game already had in them, and made them part of the coil wrapper kit I bought from him.

Mine is folded at the moment, but if I remember there was a piece of sticky foam on the underside of the ramp to prevent damage to the ramp because the natural clearances were 0...

I think you are correct on the support, I have playfield swap to do with the Pinball Inc ramps too, I'll be crossing this bridge soon...

I'm just curious about your technique, as I have both a Taxi, and Jokerz, and am debating re-doing the cabinets. Both games have the artwork applied directly on the cabinet in non decal form. Since you are probably doing decals as replacements, did you paint the entire exterior in yellow to keep a uniform and even surface? As opposed to simply spraying yellow along the outer edges like a halo, then clear the entire side for surface uniformity and replacement decal adhesion?
