Quoted from Taxman:

For the same reason people slow down at accidents.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

It's all in the wrist. Seriously.

With that in mind Boob should be an expert.

Quoted from Pinterest:Of course you do - she's much smarter than you are... ...and better looking too!

Shes definitely better looking, but she married Boob, so that would be an argument to her level of intelligence. No offense Janice

So Boob, I'm interested in which method of application are you choosing for the cabinet art?

#84 8 years ago
Quoted from beelzeboob:

You know...people should just stop by this thread for a free thumbs-up from me. Honestly, I don't know why I keep giving up-votes to these abusive douchebags.

BLah,Blah,Blah......I'm amazed you got this far this fast especially with your pie hole flappin so much. Go paint something beside your fingernails.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

This will be my last restoration thread.

Yeah, me too

#90 8 years ago

I’ve decided to sell all my pins and start a bodacious collection of half empty spray-paint cans.untitled_(resized).pnguntitled_(resized).png
When I do,your paint collection is going to SUCK in comparison.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

And she's scheduled to drink herself into a stupor with Skypilot at Allentown in May

Quoted from beelzeboob:

and now he's after my wife

#111 8 years ago
Quoted from Pinterest:

OMG - that looks freaking horrible! Were you spraying in the snow today? You need to get your son back from Skypilot to teach you how to spray a cabinet. His Dr. Who came out looking much better.
Just kidding Boob - It looks great (not as nice as your son's) but still looks great! LOL

Pinterest, You just made the Christmas card list.

#115 8 years ago
Quoted from sevenrites:

+1 for the thread title as well. I forgot to add that earlier.

I give it a -3 just because of the OP.

#116 8 years ago

Hey Boob, a bit of advise. When you apply the artwork ,focus ,and repeat in your head, "sticky side down".

Quoted from cosmokramer:

that explains why she is your wife...

No, It truly doesn't. Scholars will be contiplating this for centuries. OK, not really but there is no valid reason.

#153 8 years ago
Quoted from beelzeboob:

I completed stripping in record time


"and then I labeled my manhood in case I forgot where it goes."

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Last off is first one, so right into the basket

I'm sure you heard this before, but, why do you have such a large basket when you have such small tool/parts in it?
{looks a lot like tool envy}

how regular humans deal with the issues

You have obviously not met BooB

#168 8 years ago

How did you like working with those decals as apposed to the next gens on your funhouse?

#172 8 years ago

I'm not an expert on these decals but reproduction cabinet art before next gen was basically silkscreen on a vinyl base. Theses were considered to be as close to the original look due to it being the same process used on the cabinets when they were manufactured. Next-gen is a different/newer process using large printers. I'm sure someone can give the technical details better than me. My personal experience is they are both great looking,silk screening being only slightly more authentic but next gen slightly easier to work with. Less tear /chipping on the cuts.

Boobs working hard to level up this restoration. That said I waste paint sealing the entire cabinet as he has done. Many others will prime all expected surfaces and paint only the exposed areas.This saves quite a bit of produce and cost.Whether you use either method. You need to "lightly" sand the area getting decaled only for the purpose of smoothing out ant slight over-spray or debris that lands on the final coat.This insures no telescoping of the base imperfections associated with painting. IMO

Whoa....and he spelled it all right, too.

Im amazed at two things, The shit that comes out of my mouth when I'm sober, and the rest of the time.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I love when I start an informative thread just to wind up having my dignity stripped.

I remember this young lad .I believe he was restoring a Doctor where or who or what. Poor boy had a similar issue with some bastard that keep trying to claim legitimacy to the boy. Terrible times we live in ,terrible times indeed.

Keep running your mouth. As my wife made me two Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches this morning, I heard her say under her breath, "God, I f**king hate Brent."
I still like you, though. Breakfasts have been AWESOME!

Let me know when Janice likes either of you two clowns enough to make you one of these.Misc_013_(resized).jpgMisc_013_(resized).jpgMisc_014_(resized).jpgMisc_014_(resized).jpg

When are you inviting me over to play it

I was thinking almost the same thing except my sentence started with "I'm never".

Do you need me to send your son over to finish it for you?

Its not done,you smell like beef and cheese!

Quoted from yzfguy:

If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Don't care, even if it's true (which it's not). I'll always take a restored original over a remake.
