Not too much to say in this article as it's fairly outdated now (by a month) and it would be as fun as watching the paint dry itself! I'll just go over some of the key changes and issues I had while finally giving my arcade cabinet some well deserved paint. First off before I gave it some colour I drilled 2 holes either side of the cabinet to act as my "pinball holes" and then when about sanding certain areas down such as these holes so you wouldn't get a splinter while trying to push the buttons. One of the big issues I had was that the shelve to hold the x-arcade stick was a little too low so the sides were casuing the stick to float slightly and slide around in the unit, after a good hour of sanding I finally finished and it was ready to get painted... again. I touched up some of the areas with the base coat again and some of the areas I missed before such as the bottom part of the marquee box, after that my unit finally got some colour! I was a bit worried after the first coat as it dried extremely streaky but after the second coat it looked fantastic, a little bare but still it looks great. Check out the picture after the break.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The more vigilant of you may have noticed that the draw-bridge shelve has gone missing after coat 1, well this is because it fell off... Not to worry it's all fixed now.
