Time for another small update;
Progress has been a bit slow lately due to other work commitments and cold weather holding up painting progress.
2nd and 3rd pics showing the area i have been working on.. redoing the reds in the text in the word 'players'. This was a section that i wasn't originally going to do, but me being me (a fussy bastard) i had to do it
I ALWAYS get the major damaged sections done, then think.. hmm what else can i do to this glass/playfield etc to make it look better?
Removing the faded red in this text was VERY time consuming and difficult to do, but i think Andy will appreciate the extra effort
I removed the old paint as close to the black edges as i dared, with out accidentally chipping out more than i wanted to and creating more work for myself. So some of the faded paint IS still there close to the black keylines as a result, a bit of a compromise so as to lower the risk of doing unwanted damage to the surrounding paint.
After i had cleaned the old paint, the glass was gently cleaned with a bit of paper towel moistened with Windex, i masked off the area and sprayed on some acrylic clear to seal and prevent any red paint from bleeding under the surrounding art. After that had dried the red was applied.
