Can anyone explain the why and how on over-painting ACW flags please? I've seen the term but not been able to find that much out about this.Thanks. |

Where did you encounter this term? |

I am not familiar with the term. |

Do you mean simply painting over the existing design? I've done that with flags I had printed from various books, etc., so that it doesn't look so…printed. But with the Flag Dude and similar sources, purchased flags look so good there's no longer a reason to. |

I know on some original flags they would paint a device on one side. That would often partially bleed through and they would then paint over where it had bled through to create a reverse image on the opposite side. Is this what you're referring to? |

16 days since the question was posed, but no response to the replies. It was a very vaguely posed question. I almost said carelessly. I hope the original source of this thread is still following it. To say thanks and clarify what is being sought. |

Thanks for everyone's responses(except that from deadhead).I have been looking for where I have seen this and now can't find. I think its probably reference to as described by mjkerner. When I do I will come back to you. |

I've seen some original colors that had the regimental number painted over so the color could be reissued. |
