$9.72, it will be interesting to see how many I use.

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

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.

More red pictures, finally coming up nice and glossy after a lot of work fixing up my stuff ups from taking short cuts.

this is nice bro

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]

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.

Great finish on the paint, loving the colour..

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.

any updates on this?

[Fursphere]

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)

Looks good! Great finish on the paint. The color is fine dude, now that I see it. I think it's growing on me.

Wandering how this project is going?
