New arcade room build!

Arcade as of today! Primed and ready for paint! I got the dark blue paint on Thursday, but after doing a small test run, its just a bit too dark. It almost looks black. I want it prettt dark, but still be able to tell that it's blue. So gonna see what the painters can do for me. Add some white in the paint, or have to get a new gallon. Will wait till Monday to find out!

Looking good. Cant wait to see the finished product. :)
 
Walls as of today. Bought a Wagner power sprayer to make it easier for me. Works awesome. I am re-thinking my choice on using semi-gloss on the walls as the dark blue is not blending well being so shiny. So think last coat I am gonna cover up with satin or flat.

Call is the tosche station - that's where Luke and His Buddies hung out and in the novel is says they play simulated flying games..
 
Base dark blue on all the walls and ceiling is done! Now on to adding the stripes. They are pretty much be identical to the ones in the attached pics. Curious to know how wide you guys think each stripe is. Are they 6, 4, 2 in thick? Or maybe only 4,3,2 thick? Cant tell! I am guessing probably 4,3,2...but just dont know!

Id say 2,3,4 or 3,4,5. Definitely only an inch or so difference in the lines.

You gotta figure the brown negative space in the middle of the colored lines is most likely 3/4 inch masking tape....standard size....so use that as a reference....that considered, id say 3,4,5.
