I think you mean you want to buy 1 piece of plexiglass, and paint a black "plus" shape in it. There are example of that technique on this forum as well. If you ultimately go with 2 separately painted pieces of plexi, do take pics and show us how that worked out for you. ;)
Glad to help, good luck.

Why can't you just mount the screen behind a solid piece of smoked plexi? With my first MAME cab I did this and you don't see any hint of a monitor until it is turned on. Once it is on, all you see is the screen. I made a black bezel out of posterboard and blacked the entire area out. If I ever do a rotating monitor, this is how I would approach it.

Worked on the cabinet for 5 hours today and got absolutely nothing accomplished. I was going to paint it but my friend desided he no longer was going to let me barrow his paint sprayer. I was going to build the CP but then my drill died. I seriously do not think I am any farther along today than i was yesterday. I am thoroghly pissed that of the 3 people "helping" me none would let me borrow a power drill. I may just take this thing on all by my self. So long nice paint job.
ablizno:
Well the friend desided we could use the paint sprayer, under one condition. If he was the one painting. And let me tell you, it looks like :censored: worst paint job i have ever seen. Im just going to sand it down and use rollers on tuesday.
