Great thread and great work, Chris! I wish we still lived nearby so I could come by and learn some of these painting techniques from you. Tim only taught me the Sharpie Method which, although great in many cases, does have limitations depending on the condition of the playfield. Nice work!
Quoted from phergott:No spray, I used a small 3/8" brush straight out of the can. Minwax polyurethane.
Thanks for asking, I completely forgot to mention how I applied it
Chris is that to lock in the acrylic paints -- as an alternative to clearing? And do you do the whole playfield or just the new painted areas?
Quoted from phergott:Yes Mark. It serves two purposes. To lock in the paint and it blends in better than a piece of mylar. I forgot to mention that I also applied the polyurethane around the inserts and tunnel circle where I touched up the black.
No, I don't do the entire pf.
OK cool, and you can’t tell a difference between the areas you did, and did not, use the polyurethane on after you wax?
