Well its been a long time coming, but i thought this weekend i'd pull my finger out and get some more done on this Quick Draw of mine.. since its been ove six months since i've touched it!!
So i thought id remove the backglass and do some touchup/repaint work..
1st pic of how the glass looked as purchased, my apologies that i didnt get any better 'before' pics
2nd and 3rd pic of the areas of concern, faded and flaking off paint. I'm using the same tricks i used on my stern Dracula, and Zac Universe BGs, ie scrape the old damaged paint off and spray new colour in. I'm using the same Power Plus brand auto acrylic spray paint i used on the other BGs to redo the reds, "Centre Red" the colour is called.
In the 3rd pic i had started removing the old paint, carefully scraping with a scalpel, up to the white border of the game name text. Normally i heat the blade in a flame and cut along the edge of where the paint will go to to give a clean edge, but i didnt do that with this glass, just VERY carefully scraped up to the white border of the lettering... not ideal i know, because its asking for trouble, but i managed to get away with it this time
last pic, shows the stencil i cut to spray the red on, i used gloss photo paper (cheap stuff) for this, before i used normal A4 printer paper, but i had trouble with paint bleed thru the paper, gloss photo paper works much better. As i did on the Drac glass, i allowed the red to overlap onto the white, which means the white will wash out a bit when lit up, but it'll look 10 times better than it did!!
