Paint bottom of cabinet?
« on: June 24, 2008, 08:35:56 pm »
Hey all, I've been reading this forum for a while. I'm about 75% done with my MAME cabinet (which I will be posting in the project thread very soon), and I'm at the prime/paint stage. I was wondering if I should paint the bottom of the cab. It won't be seen. And I don't want to lay the cab on it's side after painting. Thanks.

Here's a peek:

I painted even the inside in certain areas. What if you spill water over your floor or CP? MDF/particleboard is not very fond of water.
A pitty you made the CP smaller. Would have been nicer if it was a continuation of the side panels.

Good point. I guess I'll be painting the bottom.
Well, the cp is not really that small. Just enough for 2 sticks and a bunch of buttons, and a trackball in the future. Here's the cardboard prototype.
