Soooo I wanted to buy a +BRR+ Playground and I emailed Blackriver. They told me it would be 199.50$ for the "over sized ramp" and 334$ for just the shipping to the USA, Total : 500$+. Anyways I thought about why I wanted it and if it was worth it. Instantly of course I said I do not need it because what I truly wanted was a dedicated FB table. Right then I got up and went to home depot; I bought some painters Tape, 2 cans of spray paint(Black, and Red) and some Birch 1/2" Ply wood(~50"x24") came back home and got to work. I essentially wanted to replicated the "Battle At The Harrics" Table but I was not sure how that was made and I improvised. Anyways Here is my work so far, LevelUpFingerboards gave me some tips for giving it a good finish(That will be both strong and Scratch resistant) so I will probably do that soon and Update with pictures. Ideally I want to put Lexan over it but the sheet I need is about 98$, not to o bad considering the Playground is 200$.

Also . NOTE: ALL COST ABOUT 37$ + Some of that sweet summer time of mine tongue And if I add the Lexan it will still be under 200$.

Here are the Pics:

I will update on final pics. Also I am open to suggestions on the Lexan if you know anything better non scratch that is maybe cheaper? Also the dilemma I have is that I'm not sure how I would glue the Lexan on top so that I can still see the design perfectly i.e. clear glue that is strong enough.

Thanks man! Do you think I should sand it before the first coat as well? I couldn't find 1000 grit so I got 800.

Edit Here's the pic of what i got:

All your supplies look proper, now just hard work and patience. 800 grit paper is fine and the stuff you got is wet or dry so it should hold up pretty well. The clear coat can kind of clog up the sand paper and make it smooth before its worn out. Brush it off with a separate paint brush or dab it on a rag and it will last longer.
