Now we have our image on the glass we need to make it more like a backglass,

Excess is trimmed from the edges with a new scalpel... always use a new one as if its not super sharp it will drag and your cut will be wobbly.

A layer of translucent needs to go over the back just like the original screened type. If you cant get translucent, then basic white will do, just make sure it has clear glue on the back as this stuff is also  a translucent vinyl
You need to cut your translucent oversize.

Same process as before.. wet the area, wet the translucent and apply squeedgying out the water.



Extra is trimmed with a scalpel..


Flip the glass over and we are starting to resemble a backglass


Next step is the blockout parts ( non illuminated) and the hidden text.
