It isn't reverse printed on these. The material comes with adhesive and the print layer is on top. There's some other good products that have come out since this video that have the print layer below the material.
Hi, I've purchased a pinball machine with the overlay in place. Generally speaking, it was done very well and looks good. However, I have no idea how to maintain it. Do you have any recommendations about cleaning and waxing it to keep it in top condition? I'm concerned about using products designed for wood playfields that could damage the overlay. Thanks!
I use a quality clearcoat over the overlay so it can hold up to basically any kind of cleaner. Games without a clearcoat over the overlay are at risk of damage during cleaning. As a rule of thumb I would start by cleaning with the most mild cleaner in a hidden area. Move to more aggressive cleaners as needed testing a small area first. Usually you're pretty safe using a carnuba wax on printed materials as well as painted surfaces.
No. I think the ones on eBay are from Classic Arcades and I would not recommend them. They use a different material and process that's hard to work with and prone to failure.
Hello which company produces the overlay you used? I got one for the funsouse, but it had the white back support, not transparent. I had a lot of problems. Thanks
David, how do I get one of these printed for my SS? I've got the VP playfield file, but I have no idea where to go, or what exactly to ask for. Did you use the VP file?
I just learned of the Superelectric Pinball Parlor a few weeks ago and went there last Friday. My friend and I had a blast! Centaur was probably my favorite followed closely by Cactus Canyon. All the games were in super nice condition. Did you restore the older games yourself? I'll be sure to contact you in due time about fixing some of my machines that had been in storage for numerous years.
I made this one for myself. Most of the ones I've purchased disappointed me. The only product made by other people I would recommend are the Outside Edge Hardtops.
I have problem with new generation print labels on display glass as is moist senzitive and get loose when get litle wet. I miss old quality wich lasted for years and years
Excellent work wanted to ask if you sell the coverage of playfield the image to paste in my pinball ferepower since I am from Argentina and in this country I can not get it or if you can recommend someone who sell it from now thanks greetings from argentina
Do you have a LaserCue one of these? I am fully restoring my LaserCue and it has some noticeable wear spots that I want either a new playfield or sand it down and reapply the artwork on it. I have literally been looking all over for places to scan the playfield touch it up and then re-apply the graphics. The sad part is the majority say no and do not even know what the hell a pinball playfield is. I mean come on it is the 21st century why are graphics companies not in the know of a resurging arcade machine? Sad times when graphics places have no clue what you are talking about.
Hi - you make it look so easy!!!!!!! I purchased an overlay for my High Speed from Classic Arcades - I have not done a 100% good job - can you suggest any other suppliers????? - Nice Job :-)
I create my own overlays and have been disappointed about the quality from retailers so it is hard for me to recommend any one. I put up a number of window decals when we opened the pinball parlor and that helped me get the hang of it. Maybe practice with some contact paper till you feel comfortable with the application.
I did everything right - total strip of overlay - totally flat and then 3 separate coats of 2 pack clear coat - then wet and dry paper 1200 grit - its so flat and smooth. Just need something better to put on it.
Wow, how pissed are you that you did one of these crappy overlays when Hardtops are available now? Hardtops are great. NOBODY should be buying these crap overlays and wasting their time. I give this game 2ys before the playfield is toast
The overlays I made have held up better that the Hardtop games in our parlor. Overlays I bought from other vendors have always been problematic almost immediately.
