I've done a few cabinets with 2PAC over decals and they've come out nice.
Here's the current one I'm working on, nearing the final restore stages.
The reflection in the cabinet is my dog taking a nap on a lazy boy, lol.

Thanks guys - Yes, the Diner cab was a beater and a good candidate for a restore.
Funny about thinking of the rapper Tupac, 2PAC = Two Part Automotive Clear
It's not that expensive a set-up if you already have a solid air compressor.
Some here like the DuPont clear...no specific reason, but I've been using PPG (Shopline):
JC830 Clear / JH8380 Med Hardener / JR555 Reducer / JT571 Solvent (for cleaning afterward)

Quoted from Gov:You might want to check on your dog......
Just double checked...dog still has a pulse and a smile

Quoted from maffewl:Wouldn't you need a paint booth, body gear, and all kinds of other materials?
Yea, there's more to it than just the compressor...that's just the heart of the system and usually the most expensive part. A Do-It-Yourself paint booth isn't bad if you have the space and a good face respirator (3M #07193) is cheap. Some accessories are needed, like a filter dryer and such...but again, not very expensive.
Quoted from nikpinball:That diner is awesome. Id love to see pics when its complete.
I'll try and put up a restore thread when I'm done...just haven't been that good about taking pics along the way.
