We did 2 pieces of backpainted glass (custom color) through US Color Glass that was 26"x40" and 30"x25" and the total cost was $570. There were no cutouts. Basically I recall US Color Glass was about half the price per sq ft than GlassKote.

They have distributors all over, if you look at their web site (see link below). And the glass does look stunning.

Just wanted to 2nd the idea of looking at US Color Glass. I had Glasskote give me an estimate too and got a little sticker shock. We are not probably not going to pursue it, not necessarily because of the price though. I talked to a local (San Francisco) person that I found from the US Color Glass link and their prices were better than GlassKote. They also seemed easier to deal with in terms of working with someone locally to choose a custom color, install etc.

mls99, do you have pictures anywhere of your backsplash?

Thanks! I'll look into that - now that you mention it, I do believe I even already have them bookmarked in my "backsplash" folder...
