I'd really like to find a beater if anybody has one that needs some love. Anybody hoarding a couple?

Quoted from Gnatty:

Sounds like your game is dirty, clean subway, ball trough, scoop, ramps etc. if you have black rubber, that can contribute too.

I have also found that it tends to be hard to reach spots like under ramps, under plastics, subways, and hard to reach rubber rings.

Amendes, If you take it apart to clean the hidden spots throw some Titan silicone rings on there and that should also help.

This has probably been well document but I don't hate how my lamp turned out with this paint. I just need to give it a darker aged look. I may go around the recessed spots with something darker and wipe off the excess. What do you guys think?

Quoted from Markharris2000:

The LAMP is a tough gimmick to refurb. In it's factory state, it always seems to beg for a refresh, but when you decide to apply paint to it, it always seems like you have to make a choice what 'feel' you want to leave it in, original, shiny or antiqued. I struggled with this exact choice, and ended up leaving it alone. In the end, less is better IMHO, and any shade of gold probably works fine, but remember it is 6-inches away from the skill shot bracket, which if you have refinished, might work to tie in, and then the apron is also an area that commonly gets refinished, in some shade of gold. I don't think there is any 'best' answer, just your taste.
Also note, PPS has the lamp spinning disk in red, purple and clear, which may influence/compliment your choice above. And lastly, if you are in the spinning disk area doing work, make sure you change the bulbs under the disk which are many times forgotten for years, but changes the look of the lamp as well.

I like how this paint reflects light when it spins. It's definitely better with the room lights off. I want to tame it a bit but retain some of the shine/reflection. I think I will try wiping a little acrylic paint on to give it an aged look.
