Replica Street Fighter 2 Cabinet Build colour choice?
« on: December 05, 2012, 09:18:20 am »
Hi,

I am working my way to building a cabinet based on Lusid's design but would like to create somthing similar to the Street Fighter 2 cabinets but struggling to find images of the originals.  Im wondering how to paint it i.e. black or some kind of blue.  Are there any good resources with this info or has anyway got any clues?

Most I've seen were dropped into generic Dynamo cabinets with black sides and black t-molding.
I'm not sure there was even a cabinet available for SFII.

There was one for Champion Edition, but the game was more often bought as a kit and thrown in another cab.

Personally, I think the color cominations on custom builds look better.  Look through the hall of fame thread stickied in the project announcements forum.
I don't like the granite look.  The pretty much eliminates all the artwork on that cab.  :lol

im probably going to go with black eggshell sides etc and black t molding then hunt down some artwork etc as im not a fan of that granite look either.
