Für Ihre individuellen Türfronten bieten wir Ihnen z.B. insgesamt ca. 30 unterschiedlich, **rückseitig** farbig lackierte Gläser zur Auswahl.
Basically there are different door panels, wood, laminate etc and coloured glass.
How do I convey this? Treated on the rear face? Painted on the inside i.e facing into the wardrobe ( but as it's glass (and not solid) you can see the colour.) Thanks for any suggestions.
