| Question: What is Best way to create Monitor Bezel ? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Jabba:
Hello All, I am finishing the last coat of paint and am finally ready to create the Bezel (I already have the acrylic mounted) for my new MAME cabinet. I was wondering the best way to create a clean "black" frame around the monitor (17"). I want some artwork there (i.e., game instructions, etc). I was thinking : a) Painting. What kind of paint have you used if you went this route? Does it look OK? b) Using a stiff piece of black cardboard? Is this possible? Anyone do it? c) Any other ideas? I appreciate your opinion on this topic. Thanks all, Garry |

I used poster board. It's worked well on three cabinets so far. @ .39 a sheet, it's quite cost effective. |

I just masked off the area (on the back-side of the plexiglass) I wanted viewable and sprayed-painted it with a flat-black paint. The front side of the glass has a glossy-black professionally look. |

I've used foam board from an art supply store with a clear piece of plexliglass over the front. -PMF |
