1st pic here shows the paint im using.. Holts PowerPlus auto acrylic spray paint.. same as I used on my Dracula backglass restore. the red is even the same exact colour I used on the Drac glass!
First thing I had to do was get some images of ‘Mr Universe’ to make the adhesive decals from. I ended up taking pics with my digital camera without the flash on for the images. Then it was just a matter of spending the insane amount of hours in front of the computer, cleaning up and resizing the images. If you all think im MAD for going to these lengths to save a glass.. you’re probably right. Guilty as charged.. lol
Anyhow the pics show the decals done, and the glass cleaned off ready to have the decals applied. Of course I had to carefully check the sizing, I did this by printing test images onto plain paper, and holding the paper against the glass, and making the image smaller or larger as needed before reverse printing them onto clear A4 size adhesive. I did this til I had the image size right, about 4 or 5 attempts for each decal (I did them in three sections, one for each leg, and one for his arms and body). I haven’t done anything with his head as yet.. still making up my mind whether to redo his head or just leave it as that part isn’t that bad.
