    I am going to attempt my first re decal on a game, what type of paint is best to use after you sand and prime the cabinet, also is it ok to use black paint since the inside of the cabinet will be black?

    Thanks!

    It is a LW3, I have the color code to get the paint made, was not sure if I could use latex paint, I am going to do the wet method of applying the decals, no way I am ready for dry!

    Rapid-tac I have already, and just ordered an extra big bottle just in case

    Ok, so I have one saying Latex is fine, another saying it is not... confused...

    Quoted from nman:

    Not sure how others feel about it, but i used latex and it was fine. I just made sure let it set up for at least 48 hours before starting the decals.
    I'm sure you've read through the various guides out there, but some of the best advice, imo, was "start with the cab front" because it's easier to make sure everything lines up properly. Also, if you don't feel like fiddling with soap and water, this stuff is completely worth it:

    I ordered that exact bottle earlier today for a back up in case my small bottle runs out, used it before and it was great, I did head decals with it.
