[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 72841, member: 134"] Few more pics, these all relating to what to do to the playfield. First, check this out... [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/935242_515064015197121_340549897_n.jpg[/IMG] You can see someone tried touching up the paint by hand. It's clumpy and not smooth to the touch. I can flake it away with my fingernail, but it's exposed wood underneath. Should I sand it down or leave it and let the wax take care of smoothing out the surface? The next pic shows the condition of the actual paint. It's got small cracks that look like scales as you can see here... [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/428606_515064035197119_1450689935_n.jpg[/IMG] It's smooth to the touch though. Finally, there's what to do about my inserts. They're scratched, bad. [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/190470_515064085197114_772994202_n.jpg[/IMG] Replacing the solid colored ones, I know that's doable as I've seen them for sale. Can someone tell me how inserts are even held into place? Is it a glue or something? As for the inserts with the lettering on them... [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/247179_515063955197127_2083888746_n.jpg[/IMG] I know it wasn't, but it's almost like it was a clear sticker over them, and that's starting to flake off. And they're scratched up. What kind of solution for that? I've got a checklist going, seeing what I can do first. My playfield has no protective coating of any sort on it. There's mylar around the pop bumpers and that's it. Otherwise it's paint on wood. Found another broken plastic, easily replaceable. [/QUOTE]
