The first time someone (you) dumps an entire 60/40 rum and coke on it, you'll wish you had painted it. I speak from experience. At least do something to that control panel cross brace. |

I know I know. I too like to seal paint the insides. I’ll add that task to the post-party list. |

You have time tonight to strip it and spray bomb it. It'll be dry by tomorrow. |

Side Art install complete! Both sides were prepped -- I hit the sides with 400 grit sandpaper to get them as smooth as possible. Cleaned it off with a clean rag soaked in 1 part Isopropanol and Water: Unrolled the prints from Szabo, man, this print is amazing. Great quality print, on fantastic vinyl material that seems a bit thicker than what I've worked with before: I barely had to massage air bubbles out, the vinyl went on very easy and evenly: Trimmed and applied to the other side: Placement could have been better, but I'm satisfied with it. It's difficult with this cabinet, due to what was mentioned before about it being thinner in the middle, so I had to be somewhat creative with placement. While the cabinet was down, I installed the new leg levelers and plates: Stood the cabinet up, installed the Marquee and brackets, and placed the CP as a mock-up to see how it's all coming together. I like! I decided to hold off on the T-molding till the end. T-molding is a great final treat to truly close off a project. Tonight will be the CP work! |
