You paint right over the particle board? --- Quote from: Flake on September 28, 2008, 09:13:07 pm ---You shouldnt have any problems removing the formica if you use a heat gun ($20 from Lowes). I have also read where people have used a hairdryer. This process loosens the glue and the formice just comes right off. Once you have this off get a orbital sander and using fine grit sandpaper sand the whole thing down. Then bondo the imperfections - make sure you do this in a ventilated areas as the stuff really stinks. Bondo is fairly easy to use but it will start to set within 5 minutes or so depending on how well you mix it. Once you have bondo'd up everything go ahead and resand everything again. Once it was sanded I used a spray gun to apply the paint. Overall, its a relatively easy process to fix up the exterior is you dont like the way it currently looks. This is the process I went through. It takes a little bit of time but honestly it looks like it came off an assembly line. Good luck --- End quote --- |

I think I'm jealous. I've been looking for a cabinet to MAME in Georgia forever. I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Where is the best place to look around Atlanta? |

Contact ebay seller (david.countryman) it is where I got mine and I'm sure he can hook you up. I think he posts his # on ebay ads. Tracy |

Looks nice but the price is what would be the biggest factor for me. |
