Bella's Arcade [FINISHED]

If that's what you need, just role it on like the Jungle Mame, and go over it with a very fine sand paper after each coat. This will make it extremely smooth to the touch.

Yes, but, how do you do this and keep the shine? I'm in the same boat. I like a really smooth finish, but I don't know how to have both a shiny AND smooth finish.
I don't know much about painting, but if there is some sort of rubbing compound used or something I'd like to know.

The fine sanding between the coats helps you keep the surface nice, even and scratch free ..and on "a good base" of a few layers of paint it's only (only!) the final layer that counts ..and gives the real shiny and smooth finish.. :)=
To keep the paintjob protected.., well, don't really know, but how about a mohair roller to finish with a lacquer coat? There're rollers dedicated to lacquer.. On the other hand, it depends on your paint..
Good luck! :cheers:

I finally finished the crazy bezel panel and the monitor can be set in place!
It came out pretty good - I'll post more pics and details tomorrow. It's pretty late right now. I'm really glad I went with the 19" monitor over the 17" one.
Also, my test panel is drying right now and I can already tell it's not coming out like I had hoped. I still have 2 more top coats and the poly to add though so maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic...

Javery Javery Javery...
I don't know what to do with you. And here I thought this cab was going to be good.... I blame myself
for not giving you enough credit! It's looking awesome! Galaga/Ms. Pac is my favorite cabinet. Keep up the good work and the updates - I'm watching your thread with lots of interest! :)
