First thing I had to do before removing the skin coloured ink was to take some pics so I could recreate the black detail “dots” in the girls arms and legs. Next I scraped out all of the old ink, taking care not to damage the surrounding black lines etc, (I cut into the ink close to these keylines with a scalpel blade that I heated with a cigarette lighter). I then very carefully cleaned the glass with Windex, sprayed onto a rag or cotton bud first and NOT the glass.

1st pic shows on of the paper stencils cut out and positioned in the backglass (the glass had not yet been cleaned when I took this pic). Next I mixed up some paint in the correct colour.. after some experimentation I found that using the white primer and some Centre Red mixed together in the right amounts gave a near perfect match for the skin colours!!

In the 2nd pic the girls arm and leg have been airbrushed. Last pic shows the front of the glass after the skin colours areas have been done as needed. As stated I ended up doing all of the girls arms, the girl in the fronts leg and some very fine touchup work on their faces as needed.
