The Secret Paint Mix Behind Flawless Pinball Machines - Why Am I Ashley Ludwig

About this episode

What do you do when you spend 40 hours on a pinball playfield and the very last coat undoes it all? If you're Ashley Ludwig, you go home, have a good cry on the shower floor, and show up the next day to fix it. In this episode, Greg talks with Ashley, a pinball restoration artist from Rochester, New York, about the Craigslist ad she ignored for almost a year, a decade of figuring things out alone with homemade paint mixtures and a lot of trial and error, and why the best restoration work looks like nobody did anything at all. They also wander into house and techno shows, straw sculptures, stained glass, and what comes next after ten years of doing the one thing she can't imagine not doing.
