Cheers guys glad you like
i still don't know yet if Andy has seen this thread, but i expect he will soon enough, so long as he's happy with the final outcome then happy days!
Great work, love seeing backglasses being done, something I have never had the nerve to try, well done!!
you'll be seeing a few more BG restores from me in the near future
still have to do Ian's Genie BG for him which should be next cab off the rank
plus a few of my own.. Pinball Pool and Hot Hand in particular need extensive work!
must be nerve wracking working on a backglass. great job though!
Yepp it can be at times, its real easy to mess up if you're not careful! especially when cutting/scraping the old paint back to the black keylines without chipping the paint. I sometimes need to fix these up before i paint the colours in. i used to use sharpie pens to fix the black keylines but i've been using paint and a fine brush lately, sharpie ink bleeds back thru any paint that is applied over it, not a big problem in itsself, it just looks rough from the back of the glass.
And with this new jig i no longer have to worry about clipping the edge of the glass and shattering it everytime i flip it to check my work.. i still take every precaution though just the same!
