TimeBandit Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Not bad. We'll see if the clear layer makes much difference. Edited September 23, 2021 by TimeBandit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeBandit Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Black finished. God I hope the yellow bottom is OK under that masking. Going to wait until completely dry before pulling the tape for the reveal. Check back in later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap, I called the receiver a lockdown bar. Better fix that post, haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeBandit Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Mirror mech done. More and more parts ready. Only flippers, shooter, subway and trough to go. Might be a few quiet days now as I wait for a bunch of parts to arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeBandit Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Inside cleared. Just a light clear. Not looking for a display quality finish on the inside, just a really nice place to work. Edited September 25, 2021 by TimeBandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleared my IJ resto years ago inside and out. It came up a treat even though I had a few tell me it’s a waste of time. I liked the glossy look and the decals went on really good. Dry method first try. I’m going to have to find an excuse to be just around the corner when you’ve finished 🤦♂️😂 if we ever get out of lockdown that is! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autosteve Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 That shine on the IJ backbox looks amazing. The side artwork sort of lets it down in comparision to the backbox. Anyone tried clearing over the cabinet artwork?. I suspect the colours may run if the wrong clear was applied but if it was achived, I think it would looks stunning.

I have gone for a light clear on the inside rather than the deep deep gloss, mainly because I don’t think I can apply well enough to get the mirror flatness, but also because it’s a work area rather than 100% display. I can’t describe the joy of working in a fresh, fully painted cabinet, but I don’t want to be afraid of knocking the walls either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeBandit Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Tonight's late night project. As all the mechs now have their own connector, I have to go through the harness and put the opposite connector on all the right points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeBandit Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 New full set of CPR plastics. I guess we have to be glad that someone is doing this, and they are beautifully made. But... They can't seem to get the font sharp enough. And I can't use two of these to average out to straight. Original on top for comparison. This is going to be hard to live with. #firstworldproblems. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
