It finally came. After months and months of looking, thanks to Jeff from Classic Arcades Inc.. I finally got a new Spy Hunter pinball backglass!! I am so happy!!!!!!!! I was afraid I was never going to find another. I have yet to put it in.. I'm almost afraid! :ahhhhh: Waiting for the new eproms to stick in before I put it on! *Prays, please god, don't let this one break* :hail:
 
You might want to look into triple thick-ing it as a way to prevent peeling or cracking.
 
How'd you end up killing it? I'm planning on doing this to my Spy Hunter sitdown back glass.
 
Unless you are putting your pin on location (where it's on all the time) I would not bother clearcoating it. You are asking for trouble. To prove it, just read all the threads on RGP about this very task. Also, when it comes time to sell, you will lower the value since now someone is buying your now coated backglass and has to wonder if it will last/yellow/varnish/peel with age.

With home use, a couple of hours over the week means the backglass will live longer than us on this board. Unless you have your pin outside or something, just leave it be.

Good luck!
 
No doubt, there are endless discussions on RGP about whether or not to "TT." I just spent some time reading a bunch of them, and have no real conclusion I can make.

I'm now officially in the "I don't know" camp. I think the main problem is the TT is adhering to the paint itself. The TT reacts differently to temperature changes than glass, so it will pull the paint in different directions faster than the glass will.

IF you're going to do it, I'd always keep the BG in a temperature controlled environment.

I gotta find a silkscreen marquee or something to test on.

Ultimate solution, as has already been mentioned, SCAN it so you can have it repro'd on translite if you have to.
