I'm planning the lay-out of a arcade cabinet for home use, but am not really sure how to cover the top of the control panel.
Is it necessary to laminate a design for my control panel before putting it on and covering it with plexiglass? Or is it o.k. to just use a printed design without laminating, and putting plexiglass on top of that.
Maybe I even don't need the plexiglass, but i'm a bit worried what spilled beer / sweat will do with the laminated art.
And what do you use to protect a control panel when you only want black paint on it, and no other customised design?
Hints/tips regarding this are more than welcome...
