Arcade Renovations sideart (Centipede)
Justin:
The priming I've done so far on mi Centipede cabinet has resulted in a slightly texturized surface (which I like, actually, but who cares once its covered by the sideart).
Is this going to pose a problem when I place the sideart sticker? I'm thinking the side should be as flat as possible for it to adhere properly. Additional sanding could help, but I've sanded a lot and it still looks texturized (this is the roller's fault.. although I did buy the finest most expensive one) <shrug>
The other alternative is to keep on priming several layers to get a real thick primed surface and then sand away real hard to smooth it out. Or should Paint on top of primer and then sand? Don't know how to make this thing smooth.
ideas?

What I really wonder - it seems that there is no shape cut? ???
So shall I cut the outlines of this big worm before I applied it, do I miss something, or is this art supposed to cover the whole side, so I only cut the overstanding edges?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. On the original, the vinyl went right to the edge. But I think yours looks better! Excelent job on the cabinet!

When I look closely from the side, I've a slightly texture also. You can't feel it though - it comes from the laminate under the white painting. At least my sideart hasn't peeled off anywhere and I really doubt it will! Of course, hard to tell from here how your surface turned out.
By the way, I updated and redesigned my homepage! Now featuring the sideart-section (how this all was done, lotta pictures) and my new guestbook! (please sign in! Want more english comments there - any other language would be also ok, but I don't understand anything else then english&german ;) )

Could you please explain the procedure using water to apply the sideart? I cannot believe this works... water is like the last thiing I'd want between the sticker and the cabinet... please explain in detail how this process works!
Carsten Carlos:
Hey Justin,
thanx for signing in! :D
I updated the attaching-part (much more text) -hope it is clearer now? Just let me know! :)
Oh, and believe me -water is the thing you would want most between your sticker and your cab at this stage! ;)
