Finished with garage arcade!! Before and after pics

I finally have finished turning my dingy garage into a pretty kick ass arcade area. I painted the walls black, cleaned out all the junk and put down foam floor. It really feels like an arcade when you walk in and turn on the games. I cant wait to get more games and add some art and crazy lights. Please let me know what you think.My next project is restoring the sides of the Tron

Much better man, Night and day improvement!! But that Manson poster has gotta go. That probably will scar the psyche of any kids that come over and play....Heck that gives me the creeps heh ;P

what did you use for paint on the walls? i've been using drylok in my basement and was planning on doing the walls in my garage, drylok is expensive tho and takes a lot to cover.
 
You need a rug in front of the megatouch to play more comfortably! Like your CNC'd Mortal Kombat logo. Hard to tell in the pic, but did you paint it? Got one for my friend for xmas and painted it yellow and threw on some red t-molding. Wish I had that much empty space in my garage (before or after)!

I was going to use drylok but seen the price tag and figured it would take near 5 gallons so that was going to be around 100$ or more. I fixed all my leaky spots in the garage then got the cheapest black satin latex paint from walmart and went to town. I did 3 coats and used 3 gallons. We have had 3 big storms since then and no leaking or anything and paint is fine.
 
Space looks great! Must be a bitch to play the Megatouch though, LOL.
Nice work!

Maybe the Manson poster is to keep kids OUT ;)

Ill be getting a small table soon for that, I just got it, it has a invalid key error so I havnt even messed with it
 
Can you post a better pic of the Aero Fighters.... the cabinet looks like a centuri shape but the two sticks on the panel and the original neon color are interesting.
This is the only other pic I have, you can see the green showing through on the speaker grill
