Thanks guys. I was mostly wanting to use the same tone between both playfields on as many colors as I could. I guess at this point it is changed anyway, so I may just use the same grey if I decide to repaint all that detail around the art. The grey on Comet was so dark, I didn't want it to look completely wrong if I went with a brighter grey like Cyclone.

Quoted from vid1900:That is why you always upload your teardown pics to Pinside's **shopout** gallery.

I have tons of teardown pics from a few games. This is a great suggestion. I am going to start uploading what I have if it is not already available for those games.

I have been watching my Diner playfield closely after seeing the dimples thread, and now I am about 700 plays in. At this point I am getting what looks like a (ghosting?) around the drops. There is no impression that I can see so I am wondering if I have something worse happening? It looks to be just cosmetic but was looking for opinions. Do I need to do anything in this case? I am not worried about cosmetic. I restored it to play the crap out of it. I also have a spot on the inlane where the ball drops 30 times a game. There is a part of clear chipped away. I assume i can just drop some in that spot? Thanks for any advice.

Things I gotta ask:
1. did you get all the wax and silicone off the playfield before clearing?
(I ask because there is a ton of Millwax in that drop target slot!)
2. did you sand for tooth to give the clear some grip?
3. Is the clear way too thick?
4. Is the clear some super hard stuff that does not flex?
5. Do you have any clear left over if you have to do a surgical repair?
1 I think the funk in the drops is from wet sanding and not cleaning it out properly. It was stripped and cleaned very well so probably not that.
2 yes but maybe not enough in all area?
3 it is thick. I had to put a good many coats to make up for a couple high spots.
4 I used a 4.2 voc urethane "Euro Class" that a collector up here recommended. So not sure on that.
5 yes, tons.

Think I got lost in the shuffle. Do you think the thickness is what got me? Are the small ones just dimples or more than that? I am not too upset about it right now. Each resto is a learning experience for me. Very new to all of this.

Anyone have a clue as to what I did wrong?
Thanks
