IRL Projects/Hobbies!

[YEET]

UPDATE!

First day having the machine! I went out and got some paint, sanding equipment, brushes, rollers, and other stuff. (I had all this stuff but they all got destroyed... wonder how)

First I started with peeling off the decals on the sides of the machine. It was pretty easy! I was expecting it to stay on like how when you pull price tags off and they leave that crap on that takes you years to get off lol. I had to remove some bolts because they bolted straight through the side art trapping some decal under it. I could have just left it there but I want this thing to look professional. Once the side art was off I started to sand down both sides and the edges. Took about an hour because I wanted to make sure it was done right. Before I did all this I took off all the tmolding and measured it so I could order the new ones. At $4 a foot for the LED housing tmolding it wasn't cheap when I realized I had to buy 35 feet... Back to the cabinet. After I sanded the thing down I started painting the sides. Personally, it was my first time actually painting something that big. My dad used to paint my walls in every house I've lived in since I was a kid so the smell brought back some good memories. I'm waiting until tomorrow to put on the second coat because I need to go get some 250 grit sandpaper to sand the first coat. I also have to go get some gloss finish.

Here's what it looks like so far!

(This is only the first coat so it looks a bit... bad lol)

To Do List:

- Order custom marquee/install

- Get marquee light

- Install LED Tmolding

- Take off CPO and old buttons/joystick

-Repaint CPO

- Install new joysticks/buttons

- Figure out how to connect a CRT monitor to a computer........

Stay tuned!
