Cocktail glass painting????
« on: December 30, 2003, 05:31:57 pm »
I just got myself an old gorf cocktail glass some of the paint is scratched off some is coming off so I need to repaint the parts that are now see through.  I know some people have done this so if anybody could tell me what type of paint they used to get a good match next to the original I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

Due to the age I doubt you will ever get an exact match, but as most are painted from below pretty much any standard black will do the job. Will not matter if its gloss or matt as it will end up as gloss when viewed from the top side.

You might want to think abotu just replacing the glass for a better finish. I buy tempered glass for the midway cocktail table and the old Tatio tables and the cost is only around the

A standard cheap flat black should be a dead perfect match for the black areas. Touching up the colored areas is beyond my skill level (may want to check with pinball guys, as they do that sort of thing).

The old black matched up with the new black seamlessly when I did mine.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I stripped most of the black except for graphics and text and painted the rest black with some cheap matte home pedot stuff.  It matched up pretty well not exact but pretty well I might get a new sheet of glass later but then I would also need an underlay and that would be neer 100 bucks so the 2 bucks at home depot is much cheaper.

Thanks
