So TigerMom got me a pair of old prints the other day at a yard sale. Neat old cars but they are 50 years old and the frames are kind of dated. Figured I would take them apart. Sand the profile off the face of the frame and paint them black, just something cheap and easy to update the look. But when I took them apart I found the image of the print had transferred onto the glass.
So now what do I do with the glass? It’s cooler in it’s way that the actual pictures but displaying or photographing it is problematic.
Black velvet backing. Its the best way I can think to make the transfer to pop. Then put it back into the frame.
I've never been a fan of resto-mods. I'd leave it as it was.

If you want to know the truth, I think I had those same prints on my bedroom wall when I was a kid 50 years ago.

We/I definitely had them, but my parents owned a gallery/frame shop, so probably not much of a surprise.
Mount a mirror behind the "tinted glass" in the old frames. Get new glass for the prints and some frames that suit you better.
