How to cover my Cabinet
GamingGreg:
Unless your skilled at this, spray paint is hard to get to look okay. You'd go through a lot of cans before it looked okay. I'd use a gloss or semi-gloss paint with a roller used for smooth wall (thin nap). (Remember to prime it first). You'll have much better luck with that.
... Or you could use peanut butter and jelly. Or maybe honey. "I'm sorry dear, I really can't leave the arcade. I really am stuck here..." ;D

WE HAVE A WINNER! Your idea is the best, although for me, the olive chunk cream cheese will accent the buttons and joysticks....although I just saw a package of head cheese at the store and I'm thinking I can work with it.
Hammerite paint. Durable, good looking, makes your cab look like hammered metal.

I used 76 bottles of model paint.

Yay for efficiency!
First I primed the entire cab twice over. I started using cheap spray paint, but it just looked bad and would need many coats. I ended up buying semi-gloss paint with a roller. Don't go cheap on the paint, this is what people see when they look at your cab afterall!

How many genuine arcade cabs were brush painted originally? Mine was originally red (it's now black) and the original red paint had clearly been sprayed on.
