Heck, I nitpick everybody else's stuff, I deserve to get busted for the wrong color coin stickers. :) Like I said, I went from memory, and I don't have any pics of mine before so... I'm probably wrong. :)
I did see that thread, and boy would I like to have even ONE game in that kind of original condition!

Man, you should be very happy with what you got there. What a sweet line up of absolute favorites and each look minty.... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Yeah, I only missed the instruction sticker on the wood under the bezel :)
I can only hope to get my MB in that condition !

I am a little late on this, but I am curious how you did the paint?
Did you use a roller? If so what kind?
Did you sand between coats? What grit paper?
Or are you one of the lucky guys with a sprayer?
Wade:
Spanks,
I do have a sprayer, but I didn't use it for this game in the interest of saving time. When I use the sprayer, it always turns into a very long and painful process, and is harder to keep everything else in the garage clean.
For this game, I used a smooth foam 6" roller. I didn't sand between most coats, but I did sand between a few to knock off some specks and smooth the surface a little. I didn't sand it perfectly flat and smooth each time. The grit was probably around 200 or possibly finer.
I had very little money invested in this game, it isn't necessarily a keeper for me, and I was wanting to get it done pretty quickly, so I didn't aim for perfection with the paint. If it were a keeper game I probably would have laminated it or layed it on its side and sprayed it.
