Is that a water slide decal like the ones youd use on an airfix model?
would love to do the cabinet on my Wh2o someday.

its there allright.
From the day I got it I noticed the lock down bar was trickier to fit back than my other games.
Just thinking,I'll try fit my roadshow bar onto it later and see if it makes a difference.

Cheers man!!! yeah I like it too - but wasn't playing well because of cracked ramps which will be rectified during the shop

I'm interested to see how you get on with the coin door. I removed mine last night and the frame looks fiddly to strip the paint. Are you using the Bar-b-q paint?
OP
OP
I haven't done on coin doors before just ordinary matt black acrylic - I'm using the barbq paint for the gun handle as it's very hard wearing apparently ?
Cheers Kev
You'd better hurry up 
OP
OP
hurry up ???You'd better hurry up
I'm gong bar-b-q on all the metal so will let you know. Currently stripping all the metal work at a snails pace 
What you using to get the paint off the fiddly stuff like the door frame?

The old saying, you get what you pay for.
