    Quoted from cfh:

    yea but the originals were silk screened on plexi.

    I've had the chance to see some BGResto backglasses in person. Excellent product for the price you are paying. If you really want original looking expect the price to be astronomical unless hundreds are being made and sold. I can speak from experience with the ball arch reproductions I'm doing. One of the highest costs associated in that project is the silk screening since each color needs it own seperate screen and film positive ($$) plus mixing the custom inks ($$) and then the cost to setup and register each color over each other ($$), licensing rights, etc... It's not that it can't be done since I'm proof it can in pinball, but it's more a matter of economics and time. Trust me neither myself or BGResto are making much money doing this otherwise there would be a lot of other places doing this.
