The upper glass is screenprinted with red, black and white (transparent) colors on the backside. The front is printed with shiny gold. This is made for getting a "deep" in the text and it's realy cool and nice to look at! I have never seen a 1458 upper domeglass with the original gold screenprint on the front not faded, it seems to be standard that the front screenpring is more or less gone! Same with my glass, you can just imagine where the gold have been printed.
First problem was the knife to cutout the frisket foil. I had to build a knife with two parallell blades to get the the cutouts following each other, I first tried to cut by free hand and with a singel blad scalpel but it was impossible to get it right. This took me a couple of hours but it was well worth the invested time.
Here I have sprayd the gold paint over the the frisket plastic mask. I used Createx Wicked gold color, in my opinion one of the best gold colors.
The result, not as good and sharp as a shiny screenpring but good enough!
The biggest drawback is that the paint is quite easy to peel of and the glass must be handled carfully.
It's an increadible job. Do you have a color number for the "green" color you where using?
