Quick painting question.
« on: February 28, 2012, 11:56:57 AM »
Edit: I guess this would be in the artwork forum. Sorry.

Ok, bought a Centipede cabaret. Thinking about painting/rolling it's sides white or black and buy sideart stickers.

1. What kind of paint should I use? Oil based or water based? I guess I want the same type as the UR Centipede. Glossy?

2. Personal opinions if I should paint black and use the white sideart or paint white with white sideart?
OR, the same above but whith black sideart?

Thanks.

primer first, then paint, then sideart - always sand in between. and of course i would use white sideart and white paint!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

The uprights are not painted, the sides are fully covered by the side art vinyls.

Id go black and use semi-gloss. Glossy shows EVERYTHING and is way too shiny.
