CP : Plexi or Not to Plexi???

I am making a new wooden control panel with some artwork.


Would you put plexi over it, or just make the artwork some sticky back vinyl from Kinkos?

slayerjenkins:
I think that the plexi would help protect your artwork investment.  A little extra work can extend the life of it by a great deal.
chrisindfw:
Thanks

Now another question. I have an Imperial 3" trackball. What do I need to do to bring the ball up past the plexi?

I think it depends on the look you want - IMO plexi looks more modern (so less classic)...

I think printed vinyl would not wear well over time, you might want to go for a printed CPO from somewhere like classicarcadegraphics.com - these would presumably wear as well as a 'real' arcade overlay :)

Just of a word of advice, I'd look to Lexan instead of Plexi...
