What an informative thread, thanks vid. I picked up a Game Plan Sharpshooter with a roached playfield. Someone suggested clear coating it to prevent further damage. I figured alright, maybe practice some repair techniques as well. So I searched Pinside for playfield repair and found this thread. That was 5 days and 38 pages ago, wow. So I have an hvlp gun (2 actually), air brush, air compressor, air tools, and some 2 part acrylic polyurethane that I purchased from the auto body store for clearing other items. While i don't think this is easy, I do think it is doable. Are decals going to be the best repair route for these damaged areas? I do have access to a color laserjet printer and photoshop. How can I get good scans of these areas? Do I have to scan them and fill in the blanks?

Anything you can provide me with would be appreciated. Like close ups of the areas that are trashed on mine.

Silicone? Oil? Something is not agreeing with the clear.
