Have you thought about getting a Ghosts 'n' Goblins board and a switcher for this? A multi "Ghosts" might be fun.

Painting those hinges sucks ass...

If you going to go coating, get someone else to do it.

I just use Rustoleum grey auto primer and then paint it over it. Powder coating is fine but overkill.

So knowing you, you're going to powder coat it. :-)

The black took forever to do just 3 coats, and it was a nightmare because it kept soaking into the MDF and giving a rough texture.

I've seen MDF take paint like a mofo due to not being sealed properly. Do you mean the particleboard? That seems more porous than MDF - which is known for being a pain - so the particleboard would likely be a thirsty bugger. Some seal MDF with a 50/50 glue and water mix that seals things up very well. I suppose that is why most cabs like this are vinyl covered? Curious what kind of primer you used before painting... I was gonna roll, now I am worried  :lol

Seriously coming together nicely tho Chance, and at a good pace. I would definitely prime/paint that CP as I reckon over time the corrosion will creep under the laminate fairly easily. That said, it may be fine and not lift the art. I recently stripped a seemingly fine filing cabinet and was shocked at what the bare metal looked like underneath as it had a fair deal of corrosion starting, with little hint from the paint on top.

I do like the white sides and the simple side art. There's so much that can be done with white and empty space. I'm glad you didn't feel compelled to wrap the whole thing with tons of gaudy art.

See, you can bring fresh new designs but still retain a classic look.  :-)

Haha!  Streaming doesn't count since it's originally "Live".  I tuned in toward the 12 hour mark and helped "troubleshoot the audio".  Glad you got it going Chance!

Gorgeous resto too!  Congrats!

Thanks! Ya know, i really don't mind stencil work. Its really just a step further from adding side art.  I think in this case adding the laminate to the side was about as work intensive as having to paint the sides of that Robotron i did. So... its a tie? haha :)

Good to know, my next 3 restores are all laminate jobs so I'll have some firsthand experience.

Excellent.  We shoot footage for a laminate installation video. but i'm not sure sure how we're going to edit it yet.   :(

Been watching other videos, interested to see if you guys uncovered any little tips or tricks that were out of the ordinary. It seems pretty straightforward, trim laminate to 2" overhang, contact cement on both pieces, use dowels for placement, j-roller it, route it.

One of my 3 is a DK and I'm currently debating whether I need to remove the finish before laminating over it. I'm using the Nevamar laminate suggested in the Sky Skipper project and it looks like they just went right over the top with some light fill and sanding. I'm hoping with the thin vert grad laminate the width for the t-molding isn't an issue.

Have you guys ever used laminate on a CP and drilled through it? I have a restore where I am doing that. I am nervous to ruin the laminate I put on.
