That’s a perfect colour for a Creech.
Looks like you are on to something... all backbox warnings should be colour matched.

Yep acrylic screen ink. I used water based because the cleanup is easier, and i didn't want to mess the screen up accidentally. I plan to put a matte seal over it once done so hopefully that'll give it a bit more resilience.
Interesting thought about the colour matching @Toxteth O'Grady , it does look more green in person as well. Might check on the dried result today and see what I think.
I went out and gave it a bit of a poke this morning and it rubbed right off
I wonder if it's because my rattle can black (upol) might be oil based and the two are conflicted? Or do I need to heat gun the ink after screening it? Blimin paint.
I did quite a bit of screen printing at University but not to timber. You won't need to heat the paint after applying it but it shouldn't just rub off either. Sounds like adhesion problems down to the paint you were applying it to. Oil based paint can be a pig to apply other paint to....
Replicas did an amazing job with screen printing some of my backbox's. Probably worth dropping him a PM for advice.
Will do. I'm using the same waterbased gear as described by Steve here

But maybe I need some thing with a bit more omph
He uses enamel / cellulose based ink so u wouldn’t get the rub off. Acrylics don’t generally adhere well to oil / enamel based paints
Struggled to find enamel inks, but did find this one which looked as though it could fit the bill?

Any others you know of?
I got mine from the same place as Daz which I can’t remember where it was but I have a feeling they may of stopped selling it. I’m sure Daz will be along at some point
I will see if I can find out where I purchased mine from and let you know.
Okay tried with some undiluted water based neon stuff (https://www.sfxc.co.uk/) which was surprisingly a lot thinner than the previous gear. Cleared backbox and screen from dust, glooped the neon stuff out, single flood pass, transfer to the backbox, single pass with feeling this time, and then blasted it with a heat gun immediately afterwards for good measure.
Much better result, and the ink is fast this time.
viva la idiot whoop whoop

Haha yeah. I do the same thing every time Chris B posts a sale, ogglin' the nuggets in the periphery!
I've been working on the playfield for the last few weeks. After a gruelling couple of months when all you have to look at is bags and bags of metal, dust, and rust, this is the part when you start to get some payoff.
Sexy imagery ahead.
Teal pops with clear body/skirts.
As you can see I'm going with a bit of a teal theme, and trying to tie it into the teal water of the playfield. Given that creech is a bit of a unicorn puke of colours and themes, I'm trying to steer it a bit in a single colour direction, if that's possible.
Top left - I stupidly whizzed the backboard when drilling a new hole.
Will be fixed soon.
Bottom playfield - swicthes in, switch loom going back in.

A fella I know in the states dyes them himself. They work out at about 20 quid a set posted.
Here's some we got made for @Solar Sailer a little while ago:
If anyone wants any let me know
Yeah these are cute. I know they are under the playfield but they look good and makes a good USP when selling a machine. Shows love!A fella I know in the states dyes them himself. They work out at about 20 quid a set posted.

Purple are in my Creech. Blues went in Shadow which has now left the Solar Sailer estate!

Dude... I'm gonna play the sh1t out of it!
I've only been waiting about 2 years to do it too
Before you go too far have you fitted the lit pop bumper mod? I have fitted it to mine and it makes all the difference.

Well worth the price.

I've installed pop bumper lights - the plan was to just wire them directly into the GI line?
