--- Quote from: NoOne=NBA= on August 25, 2005, 03:28:29 pm ---With tinted glass it has to go on the front. Most of the original games had the art silk-screened onto the back of the glass, and used a second piece of smoked lexan, between that and the monitor, to provide the tint. Art on the front isn't a big deal in a home environment. --- End quote --- You could also sandwich the art between a piece of smoked glass and clear glass. This will protect the art from what little exposure it has at home. I am going to do this method with a piece of 1/8" clear acrylic and a 3/16" smoked acrylic -- hopefully I'll be happy with the results or else I'll just come up with a makeshift bezel behind the glass and artwork on the front of the monitor glass. |

That will work if you use something that actually retains the glass. Mine has four steel plates, that attach to cabinet magnets screwed to the sides of the cab, to hold it in place. The front piece would just fall off, if I did that. My art is thermal printed onto vinyl, which will hold up to all but intentional mischief. It's used commercially for short-run vehicle graphics. The only things that really affect it are solvents, and moderate-heavy abrasion. |

Get yourself a peice of 1/8 grey temperd. Normally one would go with 1/4 grey, but in your case you want it not so dark so use 1/8 over 1/4 and it will be fine. |
