thanks!
I am actually trying to make similar material for a mirror but with the frosted glass lines, so its like opposite of what you have. Usually I use photoshop, but looking at your render it now I am trying to achieve similar result.

Looks like blend material with a mask is the only option to achieve that, but if you have used different technique, then I would really love to hear it.

Thank arthur. Nice references you have on your website ! I think it was indeed a blend material, but I have to check this.
