So I guess they are clear when installed. The pictures all show them as white.
Plus I played K1N6's Black Knight LE, it's is bad ass and stunning, everyone should own one lol

K1N6 is a good dude. Gotta get out there to play his collection one day now

art blades aren't always art blades. stern has thick artwork for their blades compared to the stuff made early on for ballys and other examples.

i just pulled some art blades off a HEAVILY routed ghostbusters. they did not want to come off after years in use.

i had issues with my totan art blades on 1 side when i installed them years ago. like bob ross would advise, i added some puffy little clouds.

the mirror blades get scratched pretty easily, but i haven't seen art blade issues. you can felt the side of the playfield, but not worth the effort.

for piece of mind, remove the playfield and have the inside of the cabinet clear coated by an automotive body shop. problem is now, you're going to show that off every hour. ;D
Good tip! Also thanks for the love Centaur and Pinfever. Always good to know good people.
