need vinyl art/print to disguise imperfections - anyone provide this service?

[darthbane2k]

well the painting stage of my cab is finished and im am peeved at a few impefections due to using a cheap roller and fuzz being embeded within areas of the thick Hammerite paint (well you learn by experience dont u?!!)

Anyway I reckon I can hide these by using lovely rectangular side art as provided by mame marquees (they have  a nice collage of different classic game logos that would suit my cab perfectly)

However if you see here:

, within the area I have scribbled red, I need to cover here and was thinking of doing so with logos. Eg Mame, Nintendo Sega etc..

My question is, is there any service who can print thick vinyl logos for me to stick on these areas? Mame marquees emdkay etc only specialise in side art, marquees and bezels, so I cannot even begin to catagorise what I need.

By the way, im from the UK..

I don't know much 'bout painting but it might be cheaper (and ultimately more satisfying) if you just sanded the area (or strip the paint) and try again with a fresh coat (with better rollers this time).  Someone can jump in and give you better instructions on what exactly you should do. 

IMO, artwork would look a little goofy there unless it covered the whole side (but, to each his own) and a better paint job will look nicer (plus it may be cheaper than buying artwork only for masking faults).

It's a common mistake to think that decals will hide paint imperfections. They won't. You will still see them under the decal. This goes for automotive applications, wallpaper, and yes, even arcade machines. DaveMMR is correct, if you're not happy with your paint job, you're much better off doing it over.

If you own or have access to an air compressor, spray it.  I use a cheap $10-on-sale Harbor Freight automotive gun and it works awesome.  If it's latex cut your paint 50/50 with water, otherwise thin it with whatever it says on the side of the paint can.

i ended up with 5 coats of paint ( with one primer as well ) before i liked my paint job.

definately super smooth surface foam roller.

even with that, still takes practice.

and dont forget to sand the crap out it  between coats

time + effort + practice = better results. or some other motivational crud.
