Hi guys,
Just a small update - i've had a couple of hours to myself this weekend, so i thought i'd make the most it and get my cabinet decalled.
Before i got to this stage, i decided to run the new ground braid for the headbox. I figured its best to do this before the decals go on as i will be laying the cabinet on its sides. I really dont want to risk catching a nice new corner on the carpet etc
...
I use an air stapler for all grounding work, as i have found the hand-powered 'squeeze' type just dont have the force required to secure the braid tightly...
I also masked off the floor, and made sure i had a nice clean line where the cabinet floor met the black paint...
First up was the backbox. I always use the dry method to apply my decals. The main reason being its the way i started doing it... i say go with it till it stops workin'
And finished up the corners...
And the finished product...I will be sure to grab a snap of the warning decal installed in my next post...
To be honest, i couldnt be happier with the decals i made. It was alot of work, but it really was the only answer to my problem. I'm also glad i kept the original cabinet and restored it to its current state, as i learnt a few new tricks along the way...
With the side art applied, as always - measure twice and all that...i got the coin door decal applied too...
Its now looking the way i wanted it to...
And just a shot front on...
Hopefully i will get a bit done tomorrow. I have a heap of parts that need sandblasting, and a coin door that needs to be refinished - so an update shouldnt be too far away.
As for the flipper area protectors...they will be required...stay tuned
Hope you had a good weekend guys
