Just bought myself a Surf Champ. Plays ok , but after I clean and adjust everything I am sure it will play beautifully. I have a Fast draw that I restored ( took me a year ) and is a real joy to play and I plan to do the same with this one. With Fast draw I repainted everything from scratch and the outcome was marvelous ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fast-draw-playfield-restoration-first-ever-attempt-/page/2#post-4481363 ) , I am not sure though If I have the courage to go all the way with this one.
Someone got creative and @painted@ some blue paint all over the place. Guess I will remove the Mylar , ME plus Alcohol , shoot a layer of clear , match colors and use a paintbrush to fix things up.
