Damn...that's a good looking friend you got there! He's kind of foggy though.

Nice work Doug!

I know the few people following this thread were curious as to how this pattern turned out. So no more waiting, it came out alright.
I first used the stencil I made.

After stenciling it looked a little odd because of the small area the pattern covered but I needed to leave enough area to blend the pattern into. And after blending the pattern into it came out pretty decent. A decent amount of hand painting was done to blend out the pattern. The difference in color won’t be so much when cleared. The under layer is sanded and dull versus what I just put down. It should look pretty good when this playfield is finished.

Mowed the lawn today also. Zero turn mowers are pretty “radical”

Amazing. I painted the white and black lines with a "posca" acrylic pen. I highly recommend these if you need a little touch-up here or there.

Nice! Your playfield is looking great. I do use paint pens occasionally, but most of the time I am making stencils and airbrushing ( which is the reason why these projects take me forever )

Thanks, also do you have any advice on dealing with the jetbumper screws? My last coats, I hammered them back in almost fully seated and hammered them back out when I was finished spraying, but I dont think I want to do that again. I got a few more coats to apply. Maybe cut little circles from masking tape ?

Yes, mask them off, they sit beneath the surface right? No need to remove them unless you’re replacing them... also, always hand bolt them when reinstalling the pop brackets, I used a drill once and snapped off the bolt from the head

I wouldnt clear over them.

If one breaks off its hard to remove after clear has set over them.

I always take the bumper screws out and leave them out. I do all my clear layers and when I am ready to put the screws back in I drill out the holes to remove the excess clear that will be there. I use a Dremel tool with a small sander bit to remove excess clear from the center hole ( where the plastic pop bumper base is mounted). Also you can spin a drill backwards first to remove a little clear before going forwards. This will prevent the drill bit from biting to hard and pulling in when drilling out hoes that have been cleared over.

Put yellow T molding on the back box. I think it looks really good.

The interconnect board needs a little work. The GI input header has a pin that’s fried.

Other headers need to be re-flowed.

I was going to ask the same question! I just finished up my PC setup and was planning to coat this weekend, but was hoping to see some color examples on Radical!

Is the parts bin from Pinballlife or from somewhere else? I didn't see it on any of the normal parts suppliers websites.

On the pop bumper nail heads...

If you mask them off, clear over them, then cut around the nail head, then cut away the masking, then you don’t have to remove the screw

Just my experience... and vid1900 posted on this I believe

Beautiful work! Great documentation!!

Removing the screws is so easy I don’t know why anyone would go through that whole process to avoid removing them. You’d also have a weak spot in the clear because the area around the heads would be tough to prep properly with them in. To me leaving them in is more work for a worse end result. I also like to either tumble or replace all my hardware so they have to come out anyways. Just the way I personally do things, others may do it different.

I guess I don’t like removing them, hehe

Made some stencils for the arrow and triangle insert outlines.

Touching up the “radical letter value” insert. The L in “ value “ still needs a little help.

I will buy a reproduction if available, I still have another radical ( mine) with a bad playfield that I will not be restoring like this one. I would much rather buy a new playfield than restore one that is too far gone.

Is your old playfield too far gone to send off to Micro or CPR? I reached out to Micro and they said they would need someone to get them a decent playfield and they would do a run. I tried to convince some folks in another thread but was told to not get my hopes up

#195 2 years ago

It’s not very good I am going to clean it up and put some stickers on the inserts. I’ll have my game to play and if playfields ever get made I’ll get one and swap out my bad playfield.

I aready sent mine to CPR. They thought it was good enough to be used. They are never going to find a NOS . They are going to need scan it and recreate missing artwork that I touched up. Mostly the orange leopard skin . So who knows how long it will take, but it will be available someday.

This made my day! Thank you for sending it to them. Means a lot to the community for members to send out their stuff! I know it’s not usually a quick process either. trilogybeer still has some mad skills and should keep this work of art installed

Yea. Original is best. But I consider buying one. I think I did a good job on mine but its still 30 years old and a few inserts are cracked . And even though it will be pretty smooth, most of the inserts are higher or lower. The inserts are notorious for reacting with clearcoat so I will wait and see how it stands up after its installed and starts taking a beating.
