Has anyone tried printing "foggy" or frosted patterns on waterslide decals in order to replicate the foggy look of the B/W diamond plate over some inserts? I've got a few that inserts that are ghosting and need that fogged look, and if the injection repair method fails, I'll need a backup method to reproduce the fogged insert look.
Quoted from vid1900:Looks like ghosting.
Light them up with a flashlight and make sure they are not cracked, then:

Well, looks to me like all three are cracked.
So my options are:
1) Have them replaced by a professional, but they end up looking different than the others because no one can replicate the "fog" of the original clear coat.
2) Buy a new playfield from Mirco; his clear coat won't have the fog effect either, but at least they'll all look consistent, though not original.
3) Leave the inserts as-is and repair per your guide (is this an option if the inserts are cracked?)
4) ????
What are peoples' thoughts as the best option?
