I emailed 2 years ago with same result...

I received a backglass a few months ago. I know of someone who emailed recently about pricing and got a response.

It's possible that your emails are ending up in spam. Do you have another email address you can try sending from?

I ordered about a month ago. Communication was quick. Try again

Lol

This subject came up several months ago and he said to text him. I have not tried that yet but here is the number he provided.

1-248-760-7381

I contacted him about two weeks ago and ordered a backglass. So he is still around.

BGRESTO still going strong.

I received a glass from Steve last week

Just got one 3 days ago it took 10 weeks

The one I got was almost like some kind of inkjet or other photo paper glued to the glass with some coating on the back of it.

Better than nothing.

They are definitely lacking in communication, but stay after them. Still alive and kicking.

I got a Paragon backglass recently. Took a few messages, then sent payment, then nothing for 2 months, then got tracking. That's the norm.

Agreed, definatley not close to original process, its almost like a think translite

I ordered a Paragon and Stars backglass. Communication was slow but they eventually got back to me. Great product. Stick with it.

The one I got in my opinion was just as nice as the original. Actually better given the original was in bad shape. No one that has seen it realizes it is a reproduction. That is why I have place a second order. Again, my opinion for what that is worth, but I am happy.

I sent Steve a Spooks EM rifle backglass for him to restore and it took 3-4 months total. Awesome product and he estimated that time frame right from the beginning.

No, it's not the same process the original manufacturers used but it looks damn good imho.

What is your opinion on the backglass you received?

We probably have 50 bgresto glasses at the Ann Arbor museum. he's saved our ass many times! glass you couldn't get anywhere. we have to put small stickers on the games with his glass, so we can remember which are original and which are his. From the front usually it's difficult to tell. Obviously from the back you can tell. Do the process take a long time? hell yea. I can't figure it out. Sometimes it's 3 weeks, sometimes it's 6 months! i don't say anything...

He is not quick as this is not his day job but the product and the packing for shipment are awesome.

He works overseas sometimes. Be patient. Great work. Takes some time though.

Got 2 glasses last week, ordered in Sept 2017. The glasses are awesome and worth the wait. Emails were always replied to but did take some time on occasions. I’ve seen this come up a few times on here now. Patience is key here as I believe Steve is very busy.

The original owner is back at the helm. Talked to him a three weeks ago about a williams glads.

So is this number still current? I emailed twice over the last month and left a message at this number about a week ago. No responses. Guess perhaps I'll just keep trying.

I ordered and paid (through Paypal) a Cleopatra glass on Christmas day; didn't hear back until January 26th saying it's scheduled to be done within 10 weeks; I just wanted to confirm he had mine in his production list of to do jobs.

Judging by other's in this post of jobs he is doing or just completed and saying it's not his full time job it seems like he is pretty busy.

I wonder how much time it does take to produce a glass?

What do they charge roughly for a new backglass?

Not really, the repros are easy to spot because the blacks are slightly grey when backlit due to the lack of opaque ink. Perhaps he's not running rich black.

A little over 300, includedes shipping

I have an order in for a meteor glass. It should be here soon. Looking forward to it.

Steve is a great guy and a life saver when you need a Backglass. He,s an extremely busy guy and definitely worth the wait. Im shipping him a Glass this week, I've tried other resources before I found him and the stuff was Garbage or (Sh&#)

If it was easy everyone would be doing it !!!

Agreed its take time, to recreate a glass art to print ready state, but here a few of our personal results:
2x Zaccaria repro, glass to glass
(Laser C. needed a color change on the green and a missing part of the "mask" added to the back) glass to glass
f-14 translite to glass as we call TRANSGLASS
black knight glass to glass no chrome. with hydrochrome can be done, but with the cost of the extra layer and laber of the job almost double the glass price
i think we get similar result as bgr.

Here's the last glass that I had done (picked up yesterday). It is available.
There's an error in this one repro. The color in the word "SHOTS" in the
center of the glass wasn't added. It's been corrected..

Nice work! Just do a recheck on the sky lines color on the original looks very light blue on the repro looks white.
Other aspects are spot on. Yes repro glasses a bit more transculent due the printing, but with 3 layer are acceptable. In our case they come on handy, when a parts machine decided to be saved for selling.

Yes, you're right. Although it looks all white in the pic, there is a tint of blue, but I
will see about darkening that up a bit, and the same with the palm like looking tree
behind the word Chicago..
I'm happy the way it is, but yes, the closer to exact, the better..
Here's a couple others I had done. Just like to get it out there in case
anyone could use one because they are on file..

Mine was a repair. It was about a 14 week turnaround.

I was quoted $250 for an Eight Ball glass. And I think that included shipping since he already has Eight Ball on file and doesn't have to recreate it.

I bought a new prototype Grand Lizard backglass a few months ago. Looks great and artwork is much better than the original. Took several months for delivery.

Just received my meteor glass from bgresto. It looks fantastic. Well worth the wait.

I've emailed several times and never got a response, and it makes it hard to call them when you don't live in the U.S

I've seen that one...awesome.

Hi,

I got an order in progress. Last news go back to one month. My BG should be ready next week of his last email.
I have no Response from them. And now I can’t send them any email, they go back to me with a sending error:

<[email protected]>: host smtp.mailchannels.net[35.165.140.89] said: 550 5.7.1
[BFD] Sender prohibited by SPF (in reply to end of DATA command)

This is the same with the other mail I have: [email protected]

Do anyone get some information about bgresto, how to contact them, if anything’s going wrong?
Thanks

Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). I had similar problems with one of my Australian contacts emails getting blocked. I called my ISP who told me they thought he was spam and dangerous and the ISP unblocked him. Then they blocked him again. I finally has to drag my ISP through the phone line and tell them to get this shit fixed. After I spanked their butt they got the problem fixed.

Call them. His number is in this thread I believe.

I speak English as well as cow

His telephone number is in one of the 6 or so threads that talk about his business. It’s the best way to get a hold of him. Hopefully that’s not too expensive for you to try.
