Title: Removing artwork from glass.
Post by: Suikodan on August 25, 2010, 10:45:22 am: Greetings,

I bought this SF2CE cabinet and there is a glass in front of the monitor as seen here:

However, the art is "printed" onto the glass. Is there any way that I can remove that?

Thanks

1. Remove glass.

2. Measure glass.

3. Buy new glass.

Err. What he said. Etchings are not really removable.

I can't see any art on the glass in front of the monitor.

Black area, green stripes, SENTE, etc.....

Granted, it's not much for "art", but it's there.

is it something that's painted or some kind of stickers?
