How to repair/rebuild a metal control panel

<< < (5/5)

Rocky:
CP painted black. You can still see the circles a little. It will not be noticable at all the the overlay glued on. They feel very smooth to the touch.

Really great job!

I can't see using it on my arcade stuff (basically because...well...I have wood control panels... welding doesn't work well).

but very cool to see how you flaten areas up (weld metal over the back... and fill).   Makes sense... I thought it was more about cutting the right size patches..

Anyway... I would LOVE to get this for some of my cars... I always end up with old crap cars that could use some repairs...

But I don't have time for my arcade stuff... why would I want to start other projects like fixing up cars??

Nice job Oscar. The only way I found to get around welding myself was to befriend someone who works in an auto body repair shop. I'm sure if someone was really stuck for a small job and approached a shop they would be willing to help out for a small fee. They have great drills to cut button holes in a flash and can easily weld mounting screws as well.
