AC/DC Custom Translite

Quoted from DirtyDeeds:
Looks pretty good from here! and unique to you. Is it screen printed onto acrylic? Reverse print on clear vinyl then backed up in white? Thats how I did mine - hadn't thought about tampering with backglasses before but like you I just wanted something else. Anyway it looks good! I'll be wondering if you reprint or not...

It's printed on some sort of translite material. I just ordered it from gameongraffix.com. If anyone wants one let me know and you can order it from there as well.

Sure, but since the profit at this point and forever is $0, what % would you like ?

Looks like it fits better with the custom than the original translite on your wall.
Diffenently make ac/dc look a lot meaner.

I LOVE IT AND WANT ONE! Way better than sweaty old guys - if I wanted that in a pinball translite, I'd just put a mirror in front of it and look at myself.

I like your AC/DC translite (the 2nd version) very much.
The devils hanging off the bell, and the HELLS BELLS words below the bell look great.
The flames also look great and frame the picture extremely well. This suits the game very well, and the flames look perfectly like the flames on the right shooter lane area plastic.
So far, nobody I know of, has come up with anything as great as u have come up with.
Well done on a great result.

LOL, pretty epic bump to this thread. I like the idea of an alternative translight for AC/DC though. Any trademark issues with the band in selling these?

I love the topper.

I did. My job is signs and designs. I made the 'highway to hell' pic a while ago. Its also used on www.bonscott.com.au. Since Bon is nowhere to be seen on this pin I made a translite.
Double reverse print so it lights up good, on acrylic. Came out looking a bit eerie.

I like it, but I don't know if I like the Hells bells in there. Would be better if it was just all art with the AC/DC logo.

I agree, without the Hell's Bells it's perfect. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

+1 on removing the Hell's Bells text. Make that available as another version.

Looks great though.

I agree, i'd take one too without the hells bells text. I like the direction your going with it. I like the premium translite, but wouldn't hurt to have 2 different ones to change it up from time to time.

Sorry guys but I made this for myself, printed and installed it and moved on. The project is over and I am not making additional changes to it nor am I trying to sell it.

Hwawonyu, mine looks like this. I prefer the one on Marks but if you'd like a 'Bon' backglass I have a spare print I can post. You could get a signmaker to put it on a piece of acrylic. PM me if you want it. Sorry about any confusion.

Looks great. I have told you this in person though. Very nice alternate BG artwork.
I actually opened the thread to see if there was one I liked better than your custom changes.

To date there still is not. Very nice work.

Hey guys great work. For those that are making these, what size file/resolution are you guys using when you get these printed? I don't have an AC/DC but have thought about getting another translight made for one of my other machines where Markmon had his made, but I have no idea what file size (dimensions, etc.) are needed to send them so they can print it. Thanks for any help.

In short, the higher the resolution the better. Ideally you want something at least 300 dpi but with a project like this its not always possible. 150 dpi is probably enough to not look ridiculous. Much lower than that and it starts to look like low res images blown up.

I agree, Hells Bells is obviously a song in the pin and its like your emphasizing on the translite that this pin is only Hells Bells. I say the ACDC logo with the flames and skeleton dudes without the bell and words would really look nice. I really like it otherwise tho, keep working with it.
