    Hi ... I have a PARADISE game with a nice BG >> EXCEPT for part that says "Players 1 or 2 can play at same time" ... think they used the same graphic for this on other games ... Could someone send me a high quality photo of that part of their BG (straight on view, no camera flash) ... I want to scrape off the remaining paint and have a decal printed and put that on my BG ... Anyone ever tried this?? Any idea who could print that on clear background? THANK YOU !!! message me and I will send you my email !

    MarkG > THANKS !!!! I will PM you my email if you could send a JPG or whatever ... that would be GREAT !!

    CactusJack > "projector transparency" > AWESOME ... I will check Staples and see if they can do that !! "Clear coat" > Yes ... already did that ... covered up the Player 1 or 2 area to make it easier to scape off later ... Thank You !

    MarkG >> THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! I cleaned up the image in Photoshop ... looks pretty good ... might be a little to RED so may have a couple different ones made and see which matches the best ... here's the touched up version ... if anyone needs this > PM me and I will send the full size JPG.

    UPDATE > here are photos of the "fixed" BG ... I did what CactusJack suggested and had a transparency printed ... however, it was on clear plastic and their printer didn't have white ink > so I used a piece of white vinyl (from a sign shop). First, I trimmed the transparency to proper size, then applied white vinyl to back of transparency, then trimmed the vinyl ~1/8 of an inch bigger than transparency, stuck the whole thing to the back glass (it is held in place by the 1/8 inch of vinyl sticking out). Came out pretty good ... color is a touch too red (more noticeable in photos than in person) ... and transparency image was a tiny bit smaller than the original (can see a little of white vinyl on sides) ... but overall I think it came out really good ... and it is transparent so lights up nice ! This was more difficult than I expected ... getting the color and size just right ... getting the vinyl on the transparency without any air bubbles (took 2 tries ... and vinyl so sticky can't remove it once it's stuck ... so print a few of the transparency) ... and getting the whole thing positioned exactly where I wanted it on the back glass ....
    P.S. Before I started this, I sealed the Back Glass was sealed with Krylon Triple Thick. I covered the bad area with a piece of poster board (so I could scrape it off later) ... I should have scraped it off and then sealed it ... because now the edges of the good area are not really "sealed" down (after scraping) ... and if I ever tried to peel up this "decal" it would probably pull some of the good paint .... FYI > in case you try this at home.
    P.S.S. When printing the transparency > we ended up leaving the printer preference to "normal" (paper) ... NOT "print a transparency" ... as the ink seemed thicker and more vivid with normal printing.

    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Looks nice.
    Fortunately the missing paint to the upper left of your decal
    does look like a cloud, so not too noticeable.
    Overall a big improvement.

    THANK YOU ... learning experience ...
    missing paint (looks like cloud) > RIGHT ! I will probably touch that up and some small flakes in Blue when I get a chance ...
