First layer of red went down today. The color is Rustoleum Brand Apple Red Gloss.
Doesn't photograph too well.
The CP will be black pleather under plexi with textured black t molding and the bezel will probably be flat black. (or red, not sure yet)

Had some issues with the paint... I had some mineral spirits still on the roller from when i cleaned it and wrecked the paint applying another coat.
Lesson learned (always use new rollers)...
Anyway, cleaned it up as best i could, and put a few more coats on.
Still need to do one more coat and then its on to putting it all back together.

They look dull, because it was after sanding...

Slow and steady progress (well, slow at least)

Nice use of the Pleather, I used a bunch of that on the inside of my machine. I couldn't be arsked to spray all the inside too.

Been a while, but did some more work...
I ended up ditching the touchscreen idea. I was trying to use it, just cause it was there. I broke the bezel i made, because it was real thin and cracked while installing.I instead went back to my original plan. I heated up a piece of 1/4 inch plexi and stared bending to do a 1 piece bezel/control panel. I used poset board instead of painting for the monitor masking. I also finished the sound wiring. Here are the pics.

Hmm.. Maybe this will motivate me to finish my bartop.

More Progress

Tried this theme also...

Finished all the wiring and started on the back panel. I just need to finish up the back and touch up some paint.

The red button is the power, and the toggle switch is for the marquee light

Admittedly, I'm over the bartop fad but that's a nice looking end product.

Thanks.
I was feeling over it too about mid way.
It was a battle just to get myself to finish it.
