Painting Vinyl!?
Billy_Goatfeet:
I was at a local arcade reseller today to check out an auction. Didn't see much at the auction but in the store they had four 33" Dynamo Showcase cabinets on clearance for $690 (cdn). These are brand new cabinets, with brand new monitors all pre-wired for JAMMA. I am in the planning stages of a cabinet build and this was very tempting at this price to sort of skip a bunch of steps. I could still make my own control panel. Here was the big issue for me though, the cabinets came covered in blue vinyl & blue t-molding. I would really rather it be black, one of the staff suggested that it could be either spray painted black or rolled with flat black. I am pretty skeptical that this would look presentable. Has anyone tried this before?
Oh also, seems like a pretty good price too...

those are pretty nice...i'd just keep it blue. everyone has a black cabinet
bkenobi:
Get some custom artwork to go with the blue and you'll be fine!
Billy_Goatfeet:
Yeah I suppose you are right, there aren't many blue cabinets out there. Matching artwork also might do the trick. Good suggestions. I will post the results when I get it all together. The only part of the building process that I have any skills in is the design/art aspect of it so I am taking my time on that. Thanks for the ideas!
;D

All I know is that I wouldn't spend all that money and skimp on anything.
