Vid - thanks for all this work. It's a huge help to me. I'm in the middle of a complete restore of my BOP. I've got her down to bare playfield, sanded smooth, and have color matched (using plastic chips and naptha) all colors.
ISSUE:
I've probably already airbrushed more than 15 hours of paint work BEFORE laying down any clear - oops ... Sprayed using my airbrush right on the bare (sanded) playfield. (I did all this work about 10 months ago so this paint has had some time to cure if that matters)
I will be using JC660 per your recommendation when the PF is ready. I've done all the paintwork with Anitas and Folk Art brand water based acrylics that can be bought in any Hobby shop. What's the best way (is there any way?) to make sure the paint is "stable" so the CC doesn't interact with it? Shoot a very light coat, 2 -3 times?
Starting over is a painful thought. Just to airbrush both sides of the multicolored "half moons" on the top part of the playfield was hours of taping and spraying - not to mention frisket work around the astronauts and shuttle. Any advice would be appreciated. I've got a bit of painting to complete yet (whites, insert outlines and one waterslide) but I'm hoping all the work I've done will be "OK" ... (fingers crossed)
