Man,
I would have loved to put these on my T2. However, $22.00each x 2 =
$44.00 + shipping = Way too much for flipper bats. If they were $14/set
I'd grab a pair.

Good work, but I agree with Manic, chrome and gold always look fake-o
and cheesy imho. If we could get some machined out of a solid block of
aluminum, and then polished and anodized to different colors, it might
look more sturdy and less cheesy.

The triva of the day is- "what has the least amount of cheese on Tom's
site?"
I would guess the chrome plated plastic flipper bats have the lowest
cheese factor, but that isn't saying much.

The flippers look really cool, but too much money. I'd like to see how
long it takes for the chrome to start coming off the plastic. Let us
know in a few months how they hold up. Hopefully Tom has tested them
for at least that long before putting them up for sale.

I don't think they would look good on anything accept Bally/Williams
since they have the Wms logo on them.

Since they are totally non-original looking anyway, he should make them
in generic form without the W so can be used on any games with that
flipper style....

wouldn't the chrome chip off if they are plastic from ball hits?
sure are nice looking though. MM would be worthy of these.

It's not chrome at all, it's aluminum. They use vacuum metallizing which
uses super high heat to melt the aluminum which is then injection
sprayed or atomized in an electrostatic vacuum chamber. The plastic
piece must first be painted with a conductive copper compound to make it
electrically chargeable. Check out my jukebox on my page for an example
of what a good metallizer can do to plastic

These are not vacuum metalized, believe me. They are done with a new
process which is very shiny and durable. I am looking to do some other
plastic parts like the TZ clock housing in chrome. Maybe some other
colors as well. I may also be getting into rechroming parts if anyone
has the need.

The only other way then is airbrushing a simulated chrome or other
metallic. There are paints today that achieve this using microscopic
metal powders. Still, it is not chrome (chromium). It is aluminum. Your
flippers do look shiny like chrome and polished brass, I'll give ya
that. But remetallizing might be a better term rather than rechroming

"Vacuum metallizing"...like in model car kits for the chrome wheels and
parts you have to scrape off before you glue together. It doesn't stick
real well which is a downside.

You are correct, I am using the term chrome really to describe the look
and not the process. They basically have a chrome finish like any other
plastic part. I do guarantee though that this is not like the chrome
parts that come with models. This is much better.
