Bella's Arcade [FINISHED]
Knievel:
Great work! Beautiful little cabinet so far...love the marquee too.
Man I would kill for some of that 10 degree weather. It's been -35/-40 here for the last couple of weeks.
I can only work for about 5 minutes in the garage before my extremities start snapping off. :P

So I guess I shouldn't point out that it was in the 70's here today? Ok, I'll keep that quiet. ;D
I spray painted my cab. It looks great! The front panel has a great shine to it. Just sand it between coats. If you notice that the coat isn't even, you can always spray a little more where it needs it. I even used really cheap paint...$0.96 per can at Wal-Mart.

Wow! Thanks for the compliments guys. I am so motivated to finish this thing. My test panel is finally complete and I'm kind of happy with how it came out but I'm not thrilled. I finished the process above by adding 3 more coats of the poly and sanding in between with 220 grit and moving up to 600 grit before the final coat. It's pretty smooth to the touch but it definitely isn't reflective in any way. The color is consistent though which is really great. I'm going to try a different method over the next few days on a separate panel and see if I can come up with something better. I haven't tried using a foam roller and since I like the way the foam brush came out I'm going to give that a shot. I'll post before and after pics tomorrow when I am at work. ;D

those white foam rollers are great - best thing I've used... yet!
