Removing artwork from glass.
« 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

Easiest way to do it.

1. Remove glass.

2. Measure glass.

3. Buy new glass.

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?

also, why don't you simply keep it? You'll need some type of bezel on that glass no matter what you do...
