Another update;

Been busy as with the backglass, working on some of the smaller paint loss areas, mainly in the dark blue. In the 1st pic is an example of what I had to repair. Most of this was done with waterbased artists acrylic paint. After several attempts of trying to colour match the blue and just brush it onto the chipped areas in the section pictured, I decided to scrape out the whole area close to the black keylines on the yellow stars (2nd pic) and just brush in the new colour right up to the keylines.

To me, nothing looks worse than mismatching patches of colours in a large area of one colour, we’ve all seen it.. backglasses and playfields with a blob of mismatching paint in a large area of colour, with no other detail.. stands out like a third nut on a greyhound!! So a trick I occasionally use on glasses and PFs is to just repaint an entire area, right up to another different coloured area, as can  be seen in the 3rd pic. So basically in a nutshell what i mean is, i find its easy to conceal a slightly mismatched colour touchup in a highly detailed area that it is in a large area of a single colour. if those missing sections of blue paint were out in the open i would've scraped out and repainted ALL of the blue.

Yes the repainted area IS slightly darker in that pic, but it looks much better in person, trust me! And as I’ve maintained in the past, these things will NEVER look like new no matter what you do. BUT they can look 100 times better if you just put the time into making them look , as I call it “decent”.  Like I said before, im pretty pleased with how this glass is turning out, a glass that would’ve otherwise been launched.
