There's a local company here that does plating for custom motorcycles and fire engine parts. I got a very deep discount on these but at their normal rate this would have cost well over $100
Chris, this is truly amazing work. You submitted your restoration entry for the "Restoration Contest at Coinopspace.com" correct? $200 in arcade $$$$$ is a great incentive to do a unique restoration this summer!
It is in the resto showcase and i believe i was the first or second entry. There are several more machines that have been entered that are rare and should probably take the prize if they can repro the artwork/finish them. Paperboy certainly isn't rare enough to win but i was probably the first to do this kind of an insane restoration on one.
I bought the CPO and control overlay from Richard at CA Extreme this year. They are sitting in my house right now waiting for use in my Paperboy restoration.
I can attest to the material quality and color on the overlays, a really fine product.
