Quoted from harryhoudini:How would you treat this large of an insert area? I have a large decal to apply to the whole area, so there will presumably be sunken areas where the inserts are. I wasn't sure if in this case it would be prudent to try and raise the inserts level? Or should I hit the area with a coat of clear first so it can level itself a bit, then apply decal, then clear the whole thing? Or maybe I should drop a bit of clear in each insert to level it and smooth it out?
I had this situation a bit on my JP (first time using waterslide) and overall the lower areas smoothed themselves out pretty well after a few thick coats of Spray Max.
Open to suggestions. Btw, this was sanded to about a 300 grit and then I'm going to do 600 to get it smooth.
The other inserts on the game are fine since the decals are just the insert area.[quoted image]
If I were in your shoes: I'd buy a Mirco repro playfield.....something that big and obvious right in front of the player will be hard and very time consuming to get to look right. It can be done, but with a quality repro out there......
