painting!
Level42:
Wallpaper in a bathroom ? Interesting.....nothing but tiles here :)
We have a rule: If I'm doing, like wall-papering, she gets out of the house, and the other way around.
You know that you have been married (too?) long when you already KNOW before she gets back on what parts of the work she is going to critize......I hate that !

HooPZ - thanks for the compliments! The arcade still looks great and it's smooth as glass. I did put 25 coats of lacquer on - sprayed out of a can (several of them actually) and I waited 20-30 minutes in between each coat and it was dry to the touch. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the lacquer is ready for a recoat after 20 minutes and it took 10-14 days to fully cure so I just followed the instructions. I waited a few weeks before sanding/polishing. I'm not sure I'd do it again even though I LOVE the results (and so does everyone else who has seen it). When my sister first came over and saw it she asked where I got the pink plastic to build the cabinet out of - she was fooled! The next time I want a finish like this I'll probably laminate unless it's for a custom joystick or something small. :cheers:
