Foo Fighters (Premium) | 2023
The Next Generation Playfield Protector is made of Vivak (PET-G), which allows us to reduce thickness and improve the edges by using CNC lasers instead of CNC molding cutters. The new surface is now even more transparent while still being glossy.
Our playfield protectors are precut protectors, which fit individually to each pinball machine type.
Forget about mylar, which offers just a partial protection and can be very, very hard to be removed without damaging your precious playfield.
Forget about clearcoating - clearcoating is, if correctly done, a long term project. Your pinball machine is out of service for several months. You have to level your inserts and still there can be air between the insert and the clearcoat which can result in unwanted „intransparent“ areas. And clearcoating is no protection to avoid dimples!
Depending on the particular pinball machine, a protector can be installed within a few hours including cleaning, which should be done in parallel. The playfield needs to be partially stripped down, so that the protector can be easily placed on the playfield.

2. Safety Instructions
Please follow these instructions to ensure the safe use and longevity of the protectors:
- Installation requires the removal of certain parts from the playfield, such as flipper fingers, ramps, and plastic components. Follow the included installation instructions.
- Thoroughly clean the playfield before installation. The playfield must be dry before the protector is installed.
- The protector should move slightly after installation. If adjustments are necessary, use sharp scissors or an appropriate tool.
- The protector is designed exclusively for use in pinball machines.
