taking paint of plexi?
<< < (2/2)
shardian:
Some strippers etch plastic. At Lowes, you can get some stuff called motsenbocker's Lift off spray paint remover. It is very mild, and does take paint off. It can take a little elbow grease, but is so safe you can do it without gloves.

alright, well that all sounds good, while my cp is together i'm pry gonna play it, and then maybe do a repaint in summer time and put in nicer bolts and put some better trim on, thanks everyone

Famous last words. :laugh2:  I enjoy the building process more than playing usually , but I still have a hard time turning the game off long enough to get anything done.

haha, right now i have a 4p control panel, paint messed up on back of plexi, painted black, a trackball hole and mounter bracket for my betson, but no trackball in it, just sitting in my room, no box under, the cp is on two chairs, and a 21 inch computer monitor in front of it, i'll post pictures either here or in the cp thing first, it is also running off my every day desktop pc, and i have a mouse and keyboard in the middle of the thing, also missing a 4th joystick at the moment because the one i ordered when i broke one doesn't quite fit, the three admin buttons are hooked up to nothing, hense the need for a keyboard, and p3 coin does not usually function and p1 and p4 start are a little slow, and also p3 joystick only has 3 bolts in it cuz one would run into my trackball mount so i have to fix that, BUT I JUST WANNA PLAY SOME GAMES!!!

edit:  plus temporary screw for extra hold from the plexi to the nasty piece of plywood under it with some black overspray on the sides of it.

whaddayamean finish it later? :dunno  It sounds done to me. ;D  I can't put down my desktop CP long enough to work on my cab, but it's not quite that kind of mess, I suppose I'm doing OK then.  It just takes a balance of playing often enough to remember why your building and building often enough to keep from giving up.
