How do you find the dust or dirt on the cab? How bad are the imperfections?

Green Giant:

I actually just picked up one of those little galaxian sized cabs that is white right now, but the laminate on it currently is really crappy.  It is made from particle board, so painting is out of the question.  I am thinking of relaminating it in white, but I really want to find some high gloss white, give it an i-arcade(apple) look.

There is really no reason you can't do it in white, but it will take more time as you will have to protect it some more.

As for authentic, doing it in white will have no effect.  If has the right shape, a good control panel, and good marquee/control panel artwork, white won't matter.

Cheers.

The white rocks!
Just make sure you build them from Meltecca/Melamime so you can clean it.
I visited a burger bar that has one of my white machines and it was still looking great after 5 months.

Crowquill:

I almost went with white for my cab but eventually went with red. Mine was originally a copy of the Sega convert-a-cabs like Frogger came in.

Sega made quite a few of their convert-a-cabs white. They're pretty much all white or wood-grain (like Frogger was).

Sega also made a bunch of white cabinets in the early 90's such as Virtua Fighter. There have been a couple projects converting these. It's surprising how good the chrome t-molding looks on these.



northerngames:

I have a viruta fighter cab that was deditcated and it looks great and whenever I get a dirty spot I use bleach lol

also instead of painting like I had thought I was going to after sanding it I noticed it looked like it was new again after the fine sand paper and I ended up leaving it like that instead of painting it.
