I'm hesitant to post this because I don't want to insult someones work, but I can see the spray lines and spots of white that weren't covered in both the front and the side pics.
To say you like the color is one thing, but to say its better than 99% of the paint jobs you've seen on the forum? Are we looking at the same pics?

I could be wrong but looking closely at the pics I think that what appears as spots of white are actually reflections from the surrounding floor, objects etc. Mottled patterns from the flooring and edging can clearly be seen reflected in the cab. I’d suggest taking new shots in natural outdoor light if possible to show off the finish better.

Both the blue and black cabs reflect their surrounding so much you could probably use them as mirrors. :dizzy:
Nice paint jobs, no doubt about it.

Well I personally think these are brilliant.
How much does one of these FOBTs cost? I would love to have one. Part of me is hoping they are expensive so that I don't regret buying my cabinet.

This is exactly what I thought... it looks to me like there is a crazy amount of reflection in these pictures due to the 5 clear coats and sanding with such a high grit. I could be wrong though.
I wish these things were available in the US. I've always wanted to own a candy cab but they are WAY expensive to ship over here and in god knows what condition...

Sometimes you get lucky. I foung a Capcom Impress at a Superauctions, picked it up for $275. ;D
