Now to finish the airbrushing with white. I needed to use white on the areas around the score reels and on the “1st Player” and “2nd Player,” which are all white. I also covered with white the rest of the airbrushing I had done, to soften the light coming through these translucent areas, just as all the translucent areas were backed with white ink originally. By this point I had learned to thin the “Wicked” paint with Createx reducer, so the white paint flowed freely through the airbrush. Also, the masking tape I had put on the front of the backglass so long ago now allowed me to locate yellow sticky masking for the score reel windows.

On a previous backglass, I thought I had been too sparse with the white airbrush paint, so this time I put on more. In fact, this time I was too heavy with the white. The areas covered are still translucent, so I planned to use brighter LEDs in these areas to make up for this.
