Hey guys, this is a Top Card that I acquired a month ago. As shown the pf was dirty with some paint planking(ugh!)around both sides of the standup targets, and various specs of exposed primer. My approach is simple;
clean, touch-up to prevent any further paint loss, and wax for maximum performance and protection of the pf.
I used ME/91% rubbing alcohol to clean. The paint planking is still there, but that's okay, better than before! Mixing the paint sucked! Especially the blue/green. After applying a couple coats of wax, I decided to use adhesive mylar pop bumper platter's. The standup dt's I literally did a 'spit an polish', then touched up the red stars with a Sharpie pen.

Thanks Guys. Yeah it's a great player. It was on High Tap, and I put it to Normal Tap. Plays fast enough for me, though it still needs some fine tuning.

No clear. Just good ol' Maguiar's #26 wax. Great stuff.

Quoted from Spanishsilver:

Very nice. I need to touch up my top card playfield. Any info on the color matching. Thanks. Did you seal the colors after

I did not seal the colors. I'll get back to you tomorrow regarding the color matching-it's late.

Quoted from dtown:

Nice job! I'm looking forward to shopping my Top Card. With four slings and three pops it seems like a really fast and random player.

It really is fast! When I acquired it, it was set on high-tap. When I put it back to normal-tap I wasn't disappointed.
