I got this a few years ago and had to strip the paint from the previous "restoration" attempt. Did some minor body work and had my resident sign painter do the rest.

Wow. That looks great! Whoever painted that does an outstanding job!

Hey!  I used to have an Aztec pinball.   '<img'>

Very nice job!
I kind of like the red trim on the Coke base.

Got this through an ad I placed in a little local paper after just moving into my new house. The guy only lived about a mile away but I needed directions! His son was going to restore it but lost interest. '<img'>

His hand does appear to be 3-D in the picture! Weird.

I think I gave him a picture but mostly he filled in the areas of missing paint and used his imagination for the rest. The rear part has a vinyl red disc and white vinyl lettering. wasn't able to recreate the reflective circle around the red disc which was on it originally.
