Do you feel that DP holds up against ball divots as well as your other clears?

Hey Vid! I could care less if your name was RosePetal and your mom and dad were Sunshine and Rain. The info you have taken the time to share is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to watching this thread all the way through!

Quoted from Spybryon:Thank you v1900 for the great information presented here! It really helps me understand the process in great detail.
It helps me realize that I only want to pay an expert to do it. Go Vid go!!

Vid, I asked and you answered about how to handle cupped inserts on my C37. I am too chicken to try it myself. Even if I level the inserts, they are still faded. If you had this playfield, would you be able to replace the inserts? Are there replacements available for this?
Quoted from o-din:I'm just happy to have one.
Rub it in o-din! Rub it in...

How do you go about cleaning clear out of the holes? Specifically, the rollover switch slots, lamp holes, and especially the star cutouts for star rollovers? Is there a timeframe where the clear is soft enough to use an exacto? Is there a better tool or procedure you recommend?
Quoted from vid1900:Usually the clear "wants" to stay out of the holes all by itself. It kind of bunches away from them, rather than roll down the sides.
To keep the clear out of the insides of the lamp sockets you can use old burned out lightbulbs or foam plugs.
Good guide to star rollover here:
http://www.classicplayfields.com/guides.htmlDepends on the brand of clear.
Usually there is a day or so when it's easily sanded, then it gets progressively harder.
Thanks Vid!

Quoted from vid1900:Replicating the half tone is easy.
Scan the area.
In Photoshop (or whatever) remove the background color leaving the dots. Print the dots on water slide decal paper.
On the actual playfield, repaint the affected area the solid background color.
Now simply apply the decal of dots on top of the solid background.
I'll post some pics latter.
Smrt!
Do you ever travel through nebraska near Omaha? Let me know and I'll buy you a beer and talk a little photoshop. Strictly for my benefit. I'm sure I have nothing but beer to offer you!!

Quoted from BillinIndiana:Looks like you're at the same spot as I am on my F-14. I can't match that blue worth a $h!t. I have been trying at least 2 hrs. I try adding a little white to some blue? Nope too light, so I add some cobalt blue too dark. Little bit of this or that, still wrong. Driving me nuts
I just decided that I will never do playfield touchups myself. Thanks Bill.
You are right. Better is better than not better. Still, it will be quite a while before I have the balls to try to make my playfield better on my own. There is plenty of established talent out there. I'll leave it to them and focus on improving my repair skills.
I hear that Vid1900 guy is not too shabby!

Quoted from NYP:what cabinets have lead in the paint? Are we talking old EM's before a certain era or are we talking WPC games?
good question. I hadn't thought of the risk of lead based paints.

MArmour, I would be careful with that kind of material but I would not necessarily discourage it either. It is listed as transfer tape on their site. This may work well with very secure surfaces, but I suggest that it is not as easy to make clean cuts as its description suggests. It is basically a giant roll of masking tape. There are different varieties of this type of material including opaque and clear, low adhesion and high.
