Undertaking my first playfield swap on a friend's Diner. The original playfield is an absolute mess, the game was in a gentlemen's club for all it's life. It was never cared for and covered in nicotine. The picture below is the playfield I'm moving everything over to. It does have some wear at the top. After reading this guide, I'm going to try and repair this to make it look better. I have a couple of questions:
1) To get rid of the ball trail and the wear from the kickouts, would bondo filler be the best bet to get back to flat? After that do I prime the bondo or do I just paint over it with the fluorescent orange?
2) This leads to my next question, so far the closest match I have seen for that orange is from acrylic paints from the craft store. Is this OK to use with an airbrush?
I have not done either of these things before (airbrush or repair a gouge in a PF). I'm going to practice on the old, beat-up playfield first before making the final repair on the good playfield.
Thanks in advance
