You paint right over the particle board?

Overall, its a relatively easy process to fix up the exterior is you dont like the way it currently looks.  This is the process I went through.  It takes a little bit of time but honestly it looks like it came off an assembly line. 

Good luck

I think I'm jealous. I've been looking for a cabinet to MAME in Georgia forever. I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Where is the best place to look around Atlanta?

beerbarrel:
Contact ebay seller    (david.countryman) it is where I got mine and I'm sure he can hook you up. I think he posts his # on ebay ads.

Much appreciated. :)

Visitor Q:
Looks nice but the price is what would be the biggest factor for me.
