Hey Mitch Im sure you triple thicked the glass first. My question to you is , When scratching off damaged art work I have never done this before when a triple thick paint has been applied. How easy is it to remove with a clear coat thats been added ?
Mitch here is a tip. When I have repaired the white on the backglass around the score reels. I get good results from totally removing all white with a scraper. I cut out small squares of hobby tape stick them to the glass where the reel sits and then spray a thin coat of matt white , then with a scalpel I remove the tape before the paint dries. The end result is, well it looks new.

Hi Mark, yes i did triple thick the glass before i did anything. It scapes off fairly easily where it has been applied, i always score the paint first with a scalpel blade heated in a flame, close to the black keylines, then scrape the paint off up to he scalpel cut, giving me nice clean edges.
thanks for the tip re redoing the white score reel areas, was already toying with that idea.. sounds like a good plan *%*
