well i have a guy that hooks me up with run down beat the heck up cabs and the last time i went to see him he hooked me up with a froger and some kind o centuri cab bolth totaly chewed up beyond any thoughts or a restore

so after 2 weeks of paint and rehab here is the frogger

i think it turned out pretty sweet (yea yea i know most of you wil bitch about it being a mame rig lol but aside from that fact what do you think)

this is also the matched paint from a paint chip on my neo geo cab

Nice and clean! However I would replace those Player 1 and 2 buttons with Black ones, and put in tinted plexi, and axe the GameEx front end...

:)
 
thanks

id use another front end but i have not found one that is as easy to configure as gameex, and allows every game. i have hyperspin with all the bells and whistles but its such a pia to configure ant the wheel just pisses me off.

gameex auto sorts my games by all ,neo-geo,capcom,horz,vert,original and more and i dont have to mess with creating a custom list like with hyperspin or the other frontends

as for the plexi id use smoked but all i can get local for cheap is the clear acrylic 20$ for 24x48 sheet
after looking at the pics i see why you say that you cant even tell there is any plexi at all
man that orange peel xtured finish is a bitch it took 2 coats of primer and 4 coats of paint to get a nice perfect even texture but i am super happy with it
i also did an orange peel finish on the cp with a satian black the hit it with 4 coats of gloss spray paint so it would stand out more than the rest of the black on the cab
