Impressed by you using an ISO transformer, even though you strictly don't need one with a TV (but it is safer).

Just a thought about the yellow... I find yellow works on the outside or convex surfaces of an object, imagine Pikachu, but doesn't work so well on the concave surfaces.

Another way to say it: yellow works well on the "outside" angles of surfaces, not so well on the "inside" angles.

This is because of the way the light gets reflected off each surface and onto the other surface(s). Yellow paint essentially absorbs blue light but emits red and green. For weird reasons (this is glossing over a lot) our eyes interpret this mixture as "yellow". However, when that light reflects off nearby yellow surfaces, it tends to "muddy" them.

An extreme example would be to paint yellow into a 90 degree inside angle, like the inside walls of a room corner, it will look a lot darker and dirtier than you probably expect.

Summary of my suggestion is, avoid yellow for inside corners, like the monitor well :D


bobbyb13:
And yes!
In the interest of continuing on the too much yellow escapade, I decided that black vinyl maybe later was a lazy cop out-

And so masking-



And of course why would it NOT decide to rain (when it hasn't for 6 months) now that I am at this point.

Took a while waiting to dodge rainshowers but paint came out fine, and while I was waiting for it to harden up to put on t-molding on, and was working on the monitor...



So much for doing better with arcade chassis tuning.

This is the thing that makes me most aggravated in this hobby.

Back to the monitor drawing board I guess.  :banghead:
