I'm building my personal Gaming Room...

Just a thought; you could invite certain ghetto hoodies to create their genuine street art on your walls. It would surely put an authentic 80's arcade atmosphere on the place.

You would possible need to brainwash them when work is done, or they'd return demanding 'tax' or other 'protection fees'. Like a rash, once you attract it it's hard to get rid of, even with a hammer.

~ 500 x8 = 4000 minutes = 65 hours .   that's long or you felt in another dimension world for loops.   Arcade dealing in repair or playing is so time consuming  .   Dream theater or Rush or King Crimson,  even if i like much,  i dont know if i could listen all day long exclusively without being power consumed !

an arcade in Paris ,  "Arcade street" did it..

[DarthNuno]

Well, 'street art' can be sometime really nice, but I prefer to let it ... in the street 

Ok, the primer layer is done! I thought it would never end...that glass fiber drinks as much as a man : each stroke of brush is immediately 'swallowed' by the glass fiber! Damn! I didn't think it would give me so much work... and so much €€€ for the paint, because of course, I had to buy more primer paint to finish that first layer! 

Anyway, it's done 





And now, ladies & gentlemen, here's the custom color I'll use to paint the V3 wall   



 

[uncletom]

.. well yes, I think Bruno has a point there. Street art is best left in the street. Judging by the pictures from Paris there, it would seem that a clean surface is much more 'safe' than the confusing contours of graffiti, where you aren't able to distinguish what is supposed to be there, and what isn't.

I just had the most convincing revelation of the horrible but quite possible event of sneezing, where a booger, or two, is launched towards the wall attaching itself. Now, we all know the character of the booger; small, discrete, and sticky enough to last through a cataclysm. And what's even worse is that it has to be removed manually. I'm sure that we all have our individual strategies on how to deal with such events, but my point is that a single color painted surface would infact be the best choice after all.

  well with the day-off work of halloween,  you will spend more times these days on your paint job !  long is the road with finishes

in paris arcade, that's been a good point for them  "street culture".. (arcades were not all cool places,  lots of fighters came here to ..fight  ,  and the place is much more dedicated to fighting kof sf3.3 blazblue etcc games)   .. so good rough idea, because the place itself was badly shaped (seeing the walls... would have needed much more work to do something straight or proper)

[Luigi]

Has anybody seen a hint what colour he will use to paint the walls??

[uncletom]

Yes, well the french always were a bunch of nasty fighters. Always rioting for some silly 'cause'.. etc. Better to do like we do in Sweden; a cup of coffe and some poison. That will take care of any problem nice and quiet.

[DarthNuno]

OK, no more wait, here's the official V3 main color 



 

[ataritoobin]

Starblade Purple? 

[Sonic 1992]

Ahhhhhhhhh, I love the smell of new paint & carpet.... Reminds me of the smells of new arcades!  I'll never ever forget that! 

[DarthNuno]

Wanna taste that tasty raspberry and blueberry yogurt? 

Ok, first layer applied on the two first walls 



I hope I won't have to paint too much layers... it's a lot of work, it's boring at this level, and that paint is very expensive!

[uncletom]

"raspberry and blueberry yogurt" - Yes please! Bring me a spoon!

[Belike]

[Sjaak]

Love the color. That is going to look amazing when it's done!
