RetroBorg Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 looking good mate!how much does a can of that set you back? $9.72, it will be interesting to see how many I use.
mameshane Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 i had a look online. it said you get 2 sqm out of a can, so was thinking even if you used at worse case 3 cans per coat, 2 coats, thats only $60 it looks nice and shiny in the photo My Cab.. 1-UP ARCADE new hyperspin irc details.. come hang out!
Agrajag Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks for the tip Agrajag, just bought one of them of eBay. Cheers. No problem! I hope it is still available by the time I'm ready to start building. Can't really justify buying one now and having it sitting in its box losing warranty. HyperSpin behaving oddly?

RetroBorg Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 More red pictures, finally coming up nice and glossy after a lot of work fixing up my stuff ups from taking short cuts.
RetroBorg Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Well painting was a real learning curve and the red probably turned out better that I had hoped for but now that I have some painting experience, I know I can do better next time.
mameshane Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 that's looking really good! that red paint has come up really shiny. is that standard width cabinet? I can't believe u have managed to fit two players with 6buttons and a trackball! My Cab.. 1-UP ARCADE new hyperspin irc details.. come hang out!
RetroBorg Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 that's looking really good! that red paint has come up really shiny. is that standard width cabinet? I can't believe u have managed to fit two players with 6buttons and a trackball! It is standard width and I did manage to fit all that in there but it's another thing as to whether they will be playable. The way I look at it is if I find I'm not happy with how cramped the controls are I can always make up another control panel but I'd thought I'd at least try it out.
richie_jones Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Great finish on the paint, loving the colour..
RetroBorg Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 I bought one of these 50cm 5050 30 LED Rigid Strip Light Pure White Bar Cabinet Lamp DC12V from eBay for just $14.49 to light up my marquee. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130671880083?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
mameshane Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 any updates on this? My Cab.. 1-UP ARCADE new hyperspin irc details.. come hang out!
Fursphere Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I like the idea but man that color is blinding me. Have you played around with the color scheme that you've got going on in the marquee's and try to incorporate those in the cab somehow? Like maybe a white cab with an orangesh marquee or something, orange buttons or trackball maybe. Have you seen a Donkey Kong "orange" or "red" cabinet in real life? They are bright and loud! And I love it! I painted my MAME cabinet DK orange, and my brothers DK3 red. (if I do another, It will probably be the DK blue)
sparkywallnut Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Looks good! Great finish on the paint. The color is fine dude, now that I see it. I think it's growing on me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
