I cold not stand the painted red / pink plain backboard any longer......
I looked for a suitable backboard decal or an arcade machine side art I could cut a section out of to use. Since I came up with nothing and I am in the process of shopping my Monopoly I needed to do something before putting it back together.
I used a PDF file for monopoly money and printed a couple sheets on fancy paper stock. I used the 3M clear ramp decal tape / adhesive to apply a couple sheets to the backboard. I am heading to Lowe's tomorrow to get a thin piece of acrylic cut to put over it. It will not win any beauty contests but better than the ugly paint wood slab IMHO. A reasonably priced and looking decal would be my 1st choice but the color laser printer and a couple beers works well, sometimes.
