Plexiglass vs textured CP, preferences?
RayB:
Assuming your overlay is "industrial quality" (like what original games used) then I vote no plexi.

Me too. Plexi scratches far too easily for my liking. CPO's will take a hell of a beating.

I did the Corian bit myself. Great product but I hated the smell of it whenever I ran a router down the edges. Ugh.

How funny! My dad says I was nuts and he couldn't smell anything. I've had to work with him/help him with jobs so many times and I HATE the smell off certain colors.
Was it a whitish corian?

Ya ok I think I'm definately going to with Textured, I might go with mamemarquees.com and create one where the basic area is a scattered black on blue background (like a generic Street Fighter cpo) but at the top, there will be a solid blue rectangle with ms. pac-man and galaga art for the joystick/buttons for that game

Hmm... I didn't even know that texture CP's were an option. I did look at mamemarquees and saw what they had for sale. It certainly appears that you can design your own.
I'm not sure I know exactly what it looks for feels like.
Is the textured CP material have like a melamine feel to it?
Any close up pics of a Textured CP?
How thick is the material?
Thanks,
JD
