Quoted from northerndude:

Coin door?
What do most guys do for theirs without doing the whole frozen can “splatter method” I’ve read a bit about?
Just use a nice rattle can and spray it fresh?
Physically, this is in goood shape, it’s just worn off and filthy.[quoted image]

I’ve never try the splatter method. I just Sand, metal etch, and then paint. Because it’s easier.

#29 3 years ago

This is what I use not saying it the right way to go about it but turns out really good imo. And I always sand it all the way down.

I just use the rustoleum semi-gloss black paint and primer.

#41 3 years ago

Heres the door for my tron arcade I painted with that method, I did it 1 month ago. It’s a little dusty but I opened and closed it 40 times just before the pic. And I did it with out removing the hinge.

Also still looking for the coin entry. Can’t put in a order for one part.

#44 3 years ago

Ya your door looks pretty good I’d try to lightly sand and paint over. Sanding them all the way down is not fun. But my door had lots of rust.

Quoted from dmacy:

Think I would install them to the top of the glass channel. So picture 1 IMHO.

I’m with you on that one.

#62 3 years ago

I’m going to be installing these soon I hope. And it looks like yours is upside down in pic 1. If you compare yours to mine.

Quoted from northerndude:

If I can get to it this weekend. I need to bring cabinet downstairs, put head on, wire it all up, test a bit. Need to rebuild the flippers a bit. Then will be close to buttoning it all up!
*Damn, I need a 4 pin moles make and female end for my power.
I might have to bother someone to help me choosing the correct molex from online, it’s very overwhelming to try to pick the right stuff.

I believe it would be the 156 if I remember right. Don’t quote me on this let someone that knows there shit answer maybe

Dam that looks good more pics of the cab man

#115 3 years ago

Ya man looks dam good. Great job. I know there’s no decal by the legs but you got to put the new stern leg protectors on. I think they look way better. Just my opinion.

I just seen you do. Why the plastic ones to?
