Has anyone tried to touch up a backglass with an airbrush?
I have a Flight 2000 that has flaking red in the title and wondered if this would work.

Quoted from Darcy:

The airbrush method or rattle can is the only way to get a brushless look on the translucent areas, especially if you want a factory appearance when the lights are on. On pinside there is a Topic for repainting a backglass on a Sky Jump. Also Johns Jukes has a page on their web site regarding backglass repair.
A large art supply store should have the translucent style paint for glass. Thinking I've seen something like that at Micheals. You may have to mix a color to match the current color. Look on You tube there must be vids on there for 'Reverse Painting Glass'.

I don't want to do this myself, being a bit color blind it makes sense for me to pay someone else.
