That's a lot of feathered hair and toughskins jeans right there!
My idea of home arcade design perfection:
And I'm not just saying that either. You hit it out of the park, Nutball. I have seen some great arcades, but (to my personal taste) no one has done it better.
What image was the inspiration for this look and color scheme? It looks so familiar, but I can't put my finger on what it is from (if it is from anything!) Reminds me a bit of the early Activision box art. Been thinking a lot about using that style for my future arcade barn.

Inspired by Showbiz Pizza as they had similar stripes and Superbad trailer at 1:23. The red, Orange, yellow and brown color scheme was popular in the 70's and early 80's.
NOFX had the stripes on their album cover shortly after I finished mine.
Finally named my arcade. Rainbow in the Dark Arcade

Very nice, I almost bought that same wall paper. Really like the 70's orange, very retro. You have a sweet setup, good number of games and pins. I am not much of a pin guy but really should have more. Awesome setup man...

Thanks.
Someday I want to build a lighted entrance. Here's my inspiration.
Wow that is over the top, my next move will be to build a 1,000 - 1,200 outbuilding my current space is 600' there are more games i want but mostly would just like more room between them so the side art etc... can be enjoyed.

Did you stencil and paint the stripes, or something else?
