acl repair

[dbv1919]

Hi I'm new to this forum but been collecting a long time. This is probably the stupidest question ever, but is it possible to repair the ACL on a bottle? I have an old embossed top acl bottom 7up that is pretty wore. I love the bottle but hate the paint loss. Thanks.

I'm not a big acl collector, but I don't think an acl can be saved after its ruined. The condition of the paint usually factors into a bottle's value, so I'd think that once its gone that's it. I could be wrong on this though.

Thanks I was just wondering.

How good are you with a paint brush... LOL []

The ACL isn't really paint. They apply colored glass frit and then bake it on. It can actually be done if you have the setup and the know how. I haven't heard of people doing it but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
