After cleaning and reinstalling the legs (this time I added caster wheels temporarily to assist with moving the cabinet around my garage), the first step was to remove the playfield and headbox from the cabinet. I then completely gutted the interior of the cabinet in preparation for cleaning it and spraying. Vacuuming the interior of the cabinet followed by some Nifty did wonders initially.
I then used the White Knight Light Grey Super Primer and then followed it with White Knight Dusk Grey which was a very good match to the grey in the exterior of the cabinet. These were purchased from Bunnings. I decided to spray the entire interior of the cabinet. It looks sensational in real life
Just as Nino did, I had to reinforce the neck that holds the headbox in place. I did exactly what Nino did and used some 75mm wood screws to secure this nicely to the cabinet. I later used some gloss black paint to give the neck a much better finish than was there previously. In later pics it looks a little too glossy so for the headbox I think I'll use semi gloss though
