I have seen similar designs before on a friend’s game and they were all ripped. Do PinBlades™ rip easily?
PinBlades™ are made from a special formula of materials. The top layer is a special layer with a protective coating. It has the same scratch resistant coating the factory uses but it also allows the vibrant colors to shine through. While no decal is impossible to rip, they do withstand most abuse and should last years. It’s always a good practice to be careful when lowering and raising your machine's playfield.
How long do the colors last ?
PInBlades® are created with the highest quality inks, so with normal indoor use the colors should last forever.
Are they Permanent?
Yes and No. PInGraffix uses a special formula of materials ensuring they will stay in place and last as long as you want them to. Should you wish to remove them, PinBlades™ will easily peel off. This is a fully reversible mod.
Some of the paint came off my cabinet when I peeled them off, Is this normal?
In some rare occasions it does occur, but should this happen it’s extremely minimal.

Not all PinBall Machines are created equal. Some machine tolerances are different than others for various reasons. Please make sure to measure the gaps in between the playfield and the Wall of the pinball machine on both sides before ordering. You should have at least 1/8 of an inch clearance in order to install PInBlades™ and keep them from getting scuffed or ruined. If you do not have the 1/8 inch then your machine is probably not a good candidate for PInBlades™.
