m4me Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I get acrylic cut to size for the bezel, marquee and control panel from https://www.frameshop.com.au/?file=Acrylic_Clear_Cut_to_Size_2mm. Pretty cheap with different thicknesses and tells you exactly how much it is when you enter the size. They can also cut holes etc for the control panel.

Metalzoic Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Is it vinyl? How are you attaching/applying it? There is a how to video in the Sideart thread section, as well as tons of pics of cabs showing his prints. Brad printed my sideart and the quality is incredible. You're supposed to use a felt squeegee, but I was impatient so I used a kitchen spatula wrapped in terrycloth. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good link thanks for that looks cheaper then the place i was going to get it done good to know they can cut the control panel i would like to put a cover over the art so it last longer but stress there cuts will be off by a mm that and i really don't want to take all the buttons off again that did my head in but will check the price for there shipping as i am in the west There is a how to video in the Sideart thread section, as well as tons of pics of cabs showing his prints.

Yeah i did have a look in there it was awesome but with the AUS exchange rate at the moment would of cost me a arm and a leg i got all my art done for $80 i did use a squeegee but didn't lay the unit down just did it standing up it's all done now so no stress looking to build a bartop unit now with all the left over wood looks like my partner just wants to play nes and sega games so ill make her a little unit for her self so she can leave the main arcade for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
