Now that I finally have a Cab and have started work I should call it a project. My buddy came up with a marquee idea although Im thinking I like just "Multicade" rather than "Mikes Multicade"

This wont be one of those amazing 2 weeks and its done jobs but as I find time I'll report progress.

Nice looking marquee

I'm not going to worry about naming mine until I get it all done. It'll probably end up something like the "Bodge-tastic Arcade Machine"

Finally finished the finishing. I was going to roll it as recommended by many here but a friend wanted to use his new sprayer and try using a HVLP (High Volume-Low Pressure) gun he had access to. So in a fit of insanity we actually used the following procedure:

Stripped and sanded
Sprayed with filling primer and sanded smooth
Sprayed with a sealing primer and WET sanded until VERY smooth
Painted with HVLP sprayer with Midnight Metallic Blue Mustang Auto paint!
Sprayed with automotive clear coat

Its going to take a week for my arm and back to recover from the sanding

Make a car theme??? chrom t-molding, flames, hydrolics, windshield wiper, spare tire.

Do you have to wash and wax it???

That looks fantastic...

Rest your back, only 3 more sides to go...

Thanks god there aren't 3 more sides to go, my back and wrist couldn't take any more wet sanding. Both sides are the same blue, the front is a semi-gloss black Krylon spray and the back I left alone.

Finally, I was able to play my first game on my cab this week, heres proof it really works as a friend tried assorted games to keep me at bay.

May I ask how you printed your marquee? Mine is all washed out. I think I may go get some paper and print it up here on my deskjet.

Actually the Marquee on it is temporary, its printed on an HP DeskJet 930C On bright white inkjet paper and then taped together. Once the final design is done I will print it on a banner of the bright white paper.
