How to paint an arcade cabinet! Raspberry Pi Arcade Cabinet Episode #8 What are you getting into?

In this very special episode, I show you how to prep, fill holes/scratches, sand, primer/sealer, scuff, and top coat paint a custom arcade cabinet. If you are planning on painting your own, this episode is for you so you can learn some tips/tricks and see how much you are getting yourself into. It is a lot of work but so worth it in the end when you see your beautiful handcrafted piece of your childhood come to life.

This episode was edited down from over 400 Gb of video filmed during this process and painstakingly massaged 3 times into a 45 min so it wasn't smash your head into the wall boring. I filled my SSD!

This custom arcade cabinet can be used as a stand up arcade cabinet or the control panel can be removed from the cabinet so you can take it to a friend's house and plop it on their coffee table, hook up a HDMI cable and plug it in and play! It is a portable arcade with everything needed to play inside the control panel.

Have any questions about the build? Please feel free to comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
