I ALWAYS get a pack of black 1/2 inch pan screws. They are the best for those things you need to install into your cab. I try to order about $20 worth of stuff at a time. Go to www.orderfrombob.net |

Im probably just going to design my own to fit the inside. I striped my coin control door down about a week ago, wire wheeled it and hit it with rustoleum hammered black. Like many report.... its more gray than black so last night I went over with a semi gloss. Looks good but if I could do it over I just would of painted it flat black and then spattered over it with semi gloss using the barely depressed paint can nozel method. Oh well.... better than it was. Took the gutted coin mechs and hardware and gave everything a good scrubbing. Figured out why one of my mechs would get stuck for a second when eject lever was depressed.... Had to set adjustment screw to bring the magnet door part of the mech out slightly more to allow the eject arm to slide by freely. Slight lube of the eject mechanism with super lube and they are now functioning great. The yellow coin reject buttons I found from germany work great! Mechs are reasembled and function without a hitch. Good news.... the 1$ rgb blinker leds I ordered from china on ebay came in.... i didnt even know it but they are direct replacements for the original bulb sockets. The different colors look great through the yellow plastic and not filtered out much at all! I got another china gadget that will hopefully set my cab off and seperate it from others as I have not seen it done yet but will wait untill Its done. Ive linked a short yt vid of the coin reject button with the rgb blinker. Rgb blinker led coin control door: |

Well.... im going to have to sand my entire cab back down and start over with the paint. :angry: Third time repainting the front of the cab. This time the clearcoat orange peeled like crazy. I painted it flat black fri so it had 2 days to cure. I will not use this clearcoat again...ever. Chance.... i commend you on getting this stuff to look as good as it does on your cab, it just wont cooperate with me. :banghead: Some panels looked great with the clear satin but the cab itself is a mess.... hazyness,orange peel, and frosted overspray areas. The painters touch flat black looked good on its own.... wish I would of opted out on the clear.... Oh well, maybe Ill just smooth the clear out with 320 grit and have a thick base for the new paint. Heres before after clearcoat pics... Couple of questions..... :dunno do you think it will be ok to repaint over the clear if I smooth it out with a light sanding? And... If I just leave my paint un clear coated will the finish still hold up well? |
