[QUOTE="jaredmorgs, post: 132277, member: 459"] I think because the process takes a bit of the clear coat off the playfield, you will see some differences in the appearance of the playfield. In this instance, a clear coat or mylar layer over the surface will return the surface to how it looked originally - high gloss. Because mylar would adhere well to the finely abraided surface created by the ME, the mylar would appear to be "clear" If you are applying this technique to areas outside of the business areas (flippers, pops, return lane impact points) be wary that applying mylar to a playfield does create a slightly raised edge. For balls not travelling fast over the area, this will result in a very slight directional change. You may notice that some playfield have mylar semicircles near the slingshots. Think how the ball moves in this area, and you'll see what I mean. I know that on Big Hurt by Gottlieb, there is a mylar layer that covers all the sling and upper playfield. The interesting thing is that where the mylar ends, it is lifting up a little bit. Even with this little imperfection, the ball does not alter course. So if you prepare the playfield properly, and cut the mylar with a scalpel (for a nice clean edge) you should be good. [/QUOTE]
