I think the way they do things, while it looks nice, would not hold up over time as vid details in his playfield restoration thread. If you want a show piece, do it vids way, if you want something that will look nice and take less effort, tnt might be the way to go. However, I bet they are pretty expensive if you are asking because you are considering using their services.

Might also consider one of the handful of other restorers that are mentioned ok pinside consistently too. They seem to be really good, and if your going to pay a third party to do your project, might as well look into all of them.

Deciding on sending your game for someone else to do is a very tricky process I think because you can get all the recommendations in the world and your game could still come back not to your liking because no two games are the same. I plan to send a playfield away for touch up and clear coat in the near future, and if it is not absolutely perfect, I will be dissapointed. But I guess that is he risk you take not performing the work yourself.

I suggest starting a new thread for your TNT up close and personal pictures. This is clearly at TNT pricing thread now haha.

Did you put clear coat over the overlay? That looks great. The TNT one, not so much.

Why is that inevitable? There's gotta be some primer or something that can be used to keep overlays down and eliminate bubbling.

Yeah agreed. My EBD is an overlay and definitely is bubbling by a couple posts and the top rollovers. Would really like to find a way to get those flush again.
