Scared Stiff - Fix up restore
This was given to me to fix up someone else's "attempt" to either restore or to do a quick flip.
There's was so much wrong with this, it had a real thick clear coat, which looked rolled or brushed on, even still it had runs, solvent boil and silcone in the clear.
Insert decals were not trimmed and slap over existing inserts, most were done poorly.
A lot of touchups looked to be done by brush.
Paint splatter though-out the whole playfield.
Some inserts were not even touched up before the playfield being cleared.
Shit all though-out the clear (factory clears have their fair share of dust / sh#t) but this playfield was a lot worse.
Anyway, I was given a set budget, and to keep costs down I did every little trick I could think of to bring this back to a respectable level... I think I succeeded....
Some Before Photos:
-You can see "9" insert on how it was applied. I removed the inner "Jack Pot" insert to see the what was underneath
This shows "cat" and "bird" insert decals have been replaced, but not the "fly"
-You can see how these inserts are basically slapped on with not much care.
-Better closer view of all the crap / dust in the clear
Overall before view
Now some before and after photos
Hole fixed up, and you can see the Jackpot insert had no white around the lettering.
Now some after photos
