Once done, easy to touch up the grey areas. Almost impossible to touch up white areas although some use glass translucent paint - can experiment as can wipe off.
I followed Clays guide referenced above to the letter to restore my EM backglass from "trashed" to "useable". I was relaxed about it, as like for you an alternative is available from bgresto that I'll probably go for at some point. http://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/rocket-iii-backglass.37812/
My main learnings were, touching up the opaque areas is straightforward just work on colour matching your acrylics. For me, don't even attempt tranluscent touch-ups they look dreadful once lit from behind. Saying that the theatre gel can really soften the impact of cracks in these areas, a pack of mixed colour strips is readily available on eBay (good to colour Orange DMDs too!)
For the reasons above I sealed using a readily available acrylic sealer, but this company stocks krylon and used to sell TT on eBay so worth checking with them - https://www.pondskippercrafts.co.uk/
i used it years ago the krylon and it was really good,,need another doing and looked a few months ago and cant remember how much but it was really expensive...will split a can if you find one
As above. I’ve used Krylon Triple Thick and been very happy with the results...also followed Clay’s tutorials. As Clay says, only time will tell how this process ages but so far so good. Also be aware that there is another Krylon spray that is NOT Triple Thick, so don’t buy that in error. Best of luck.
Thanks everyone, I've ordered some cans of Krylon triple Thick from USA. I've got various acrylic paints so may was well have a go on the backglass as well as the playfield!
