I love the artwork.  That cab is going to kick butt.

Finally got my marquee and cpo printed. Classicarcadegraphics.com did the printing and this stuff looks 100% professional. Couldn't be happier with the work they did.

Unfortunately I have a very low quality digital camera. In person the printing looks flawless.

Marquee:



CPO:



CPO detail:



Another CPO detail:



Like I said, my camera can't even come close to capturing how good this stuff looks. All the lines are completely crisp & sharp.

I decided at the last minute that I didn't want carrage bolts sticking through the artwork, so the I'm in the process of welding studs to the back of it. As soon as the metal work is finished I'll post a picture of the CPO mounted.

Coming along nicely. Do you get the sideart and kickplate printed there too? Do they even print things that large?

Some questions about the print. Is there a difference between the marquee and CPO print? Like different colors or something. Is the black on the CPO really black?

Is the black on the CPO really black?

That's what I'd like to know too  Also, Sasquatch mentioned there are two thicknesses of CPO from classicarcadegraphics - I think you would have the thinner one so it can be bend around your CP, am I right?

It looks great anyway, your cab's coming along very nicely

The colors match great, no problems there. They look somewhat different in the pictures probably because the marquee is glossy and the CPO has a texture on it (just like a real CPO does which makes it somewhat matte in appearance in the pictures. Again this is a limitation of my very old digital camera I'm sure.

The black on the CPO is a nice dark black, same as the marquee. I can't stress enough how much this looks like a genuine arcade CPO.

Yes I did request the thinner of the two that C.A.G. offers. It bent around the control panel just fine, and  seems to adhere to the primed metal very well. I'm not sure how well it would adhere to bare wood. I'd probably give a wood control panel a few coats of primer before I'd apply this stuff to one.

I didn't order the side art and kick panel yet. Since they cost quite a bit more than the marquee and CPO do I wanted to see what their quality was like before I ordered those items. After having seen it, I feel totally comfortable with using C.A.G. for those items as well.

No time talk. Must play.

Stingray,

Your cabinet looks absolutley fantastic.  The control panel overlay and the marquee turned out really nicely.  Can't wait to see the side-art on the cab too when you get it.

Thanks a lot! I can't wait to get the rest of the artwork printed. Unfortunatly, I've spent about all I can get away with on this project for this month. It'll have to wait until next payday.  

It certainly looks good enough as is. I enjoy looking at it almost as much as playing it!
