Introducing, the Hardtop!

This is NOT a thin stretchy decal. This is also NOT a new playfield, requiring a full removal of all playfield parts.

The Hardtop is a high-quality, dimensionally stable, extremely durable alternative for a game with a very worn playfield, where a quality replacement playfield may not be easily available (or possibly never will be!).

Once a Hardtop is installed, the colors are brilliant, the surface is seamless, and the playing experience is fantastic.
  • High-quality licensed art is printed on the underside of the clear PETG material so it can't wear off
  • The .030 thick material creates a perfectly flat and smooth playing surface
  • The entire playfield is topped with an extremely durable clear coating tested for superior abrasion resistance
  • Aggressive permanent adhesive ensures it attaches securely and lays flat
  • Completely cut and ready to install

​Customer feedback

"HOLY COW THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE. ITS GORGEOUS. All the routed stuff fits perfectly, putting the star-rollover in was a breeze. These are going to save a lot of machines. You are doing amazing work.​"

"This is a machine that I received as an unassembled basket case that had gotten water damage to the playfield. The hardtop absolutely saved it."

"...​doing one of these is a breeze compared to a complete playfield replacement. If you start with a complete game and just have to remove the topside, apply the Hardtop and reinstall the topside parts, there's no comparison."

"Well let me tell you how incredibly impressed we all were with your marvelous invention...I think this is one of the best things to happen to Pinball collecting in years"

WARNING: This product WILL damage the existing playfield art, so installing a Hardtop should not be considered temporary. The existing playfield will need to be top-side stripped, and then sanded in order to remove any high spots or graphics on the inserts. The Hardtop will then replace all the graphics on the playfield, creating a beautiful playing surface.

(Frequently Asked Questions)

Please note - we do NOT make custom one-off Hardtops

We could go into a long explanation about how many months it takes to prepare, test, and fine-tune the art and hole positions for a single title, or our high overhead costs (we are commercial printers, and this not our day job), or how we use a $1.5 million printing press to get the top quality we need, or how the cost to make a single one-off Hardtop could easily be 20x the regular cost because it will take the same amount of development time, but the short answer is simply no, sorry, we don't and won't make any custom Hardtops.
