I hate putting on CPO's

Cause I suck at it lol. Put two on tonight.

One was like a dream and is absufucking perfect. The second was like wrestling a bear. It looks ok tho lol
 
Ms. Pac is perfecto measured it out. Its spot on. Centipede I goofed so bad I had to lift it. We all know that is a no no. apparently the purple is a weak point lol. Looks worse then it is in these closeups but yeah gayyyyyy.

If you get CPOs with die-cut holes, it's not hard to put them on. On those big ones like Centipede, only pull off about half of the backing until you get the holes lined up and the top pushed down, then peel off the rest and smooth it over the turns.

I love putting on CPOs, because I love seeing how fresh and beautiful it looks when I'm done.

Now, taking off CPOs is a bitch....
 
Its a pain for sure. I have more luck if i powder coat the surface first, i prefer a black satin finish. If you do it quick you can pull it up and not lose any graphic but its better to get the sucker dead nuts on before you start. Its so worth it when you are done though.

Yeah I had it clamped with only a section removed. it slipped and I didn't notice. It was like a half inch off so I had to lift it. shit happens. Before paxil and xanax this might have upset me more lol

Looks good man, I don't do full restores on my games just clean em up a bit.
My centipede panel is actually bent a bit. So maybe in the next few years I'll grab another and take one more pass at it. Its wayyyy better then it was. It had a huge circle cut out around the trackball and had rust.
