Rich Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 not sure if you're keen on keeping the serial numbers/letters, or just going to fill them, but using a very narrow jewelers screwdriver you can gently tap, going over the original letters/numbers to retain them. not so hard that you lift the ply, and it is tricky doing the curves, but achievable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autosteve Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I like Rich's Aluminium sheet idea to replace the horrible Bally metalic painted cardboard in the backbox. So much easier to work with than stainless sheet. You want it to shine like stainless, polish it. .5mm thick would also means no sharp edges unlike the original Bally metal sheilding prior to the ridiculous cost cutting idea of metalic painted cardboard that just loves to bow and short against the back of your boards in extreme cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinoffski Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Going to put aluminium sheet in as per @Rich Will need 535mm x 1020 or bit longer Got this pic off pinside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would look sharp but just how much of it you'll be able to see when all the boards are in, the tech sheets are put in place and how often the backbox is open for all to see is what I question. Still, blue anodized aluminium does look outstanding..😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinoffski Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 found this For paint colour I am not using it as I don't understand it but It may some one.

Autosteve Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you know the exact paint formular there is a place in Milperra NSW that rattle cans it for you. Last ones I had done come in at about $25 a can and about $20 for clear. (2 years ago) Probably not open ATM on account it is in Australia's most infected areas right now.

My Paragon replacement was way better than the one I had in it condition wise but colour wise it was chalk and cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinoffski Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Undercoted the inside of the backbox. Needed the practice as I haven't painted for a long time. Probably not really necessary. Will also paint it blue as it will look nice with the aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinoffski Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 It is hard to get a good pic. With out a reflection or that it looks like it is missing paint I am happy with the blue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
