Quoted from PinMonk:Isn't there a basecoat of white on these? If it's there, is it just not thick enough to prevent the original cabinet art from bleeding through? I'm surprised at the transparency issue - that sucks!
The white base coat is the substrate that is glued to the cabinet for the silkscreen process, not paint. It’s like thin a vinyl material. You really can’t take just the screened color off 100% cleanly. If you are careful you can probably get it good enough though. It will peel if you heat it or sand aggressively.
