Space Odyssey
Williams, 1976Already have a few coats of WB Varathane on my Space Odyssey EM playfield and considering spraying a final coat of gloss to give it more pop. I read online of someone who did this only to have an adverse reaction and crazing of the semi gloss layer ruining his playfield. Has anyone else sprayed gloss over semi gloss with success or have you been satisfied with the semi gloss results?
Quoted from pinballfan:d ont put varathane...crack all around with time.finitek-3000 is so much better!!
It is all in the prep.... have done several in varathane. The oldest is now about 10 years ago and still looks like it did day 1...
what is your method?maybe i d ont do a good prep,but finitek is a lot more durable,its a polyurethane.
