Anyone add the glitter paper to their machine yet?

How hard was it to install?

Does it look like it can be removed with any damage?

TIA

I'm not doing this mod, but if I had to guess, I would say it would be pretty easy AFTER you take the playfield out. Now, that said, taking the playfield out for a small thing like this isn't terrible. Get a stool or a small table and someone who can help for for the entire time. Undo the support arms from the playfield via the 1/4" screws and the playfield will lift right out and onto the table or stool on it's edge. The cables are extra long so that the playfields could be tested outside of the games. The helper gets to hold it from falling over while you install the glitter paper. After it's in, you both lift the PF back in and re-connect the support bars.

I know Hank (nworker) installed it and said it went fairly smoothly. Care to chime in here Hank?

Yes, I installed the glitter paper and it looks great. I did not take out the playfield to install the paper. Here is what I did:

1. Measured the size of each side
2. cut the paper to shape
3. removed half of the backing
4. carefully slid the paper between the playfield and cabinet
5. pressed the paper to the side of the game
6. peeled the rest of the backing off
7. rubbed all of the paper

It would be really easy with the playfield removed. I did not have the help to do the install.

I think that it will be really easy to remove. The inside of the cab is not all that smooth. The paper does not have super sticky adhesive. The combination should make it easy to remove/replace.

How do you like the look of the paper installed?

I think it looks great. I thought that it would be too busy. It turned out to fit in nicely with the rest of the artwork. I think that the tube rings are the icing on the cake.
