I was lucky enough to have a printer that prints waterproof inks so I was able to make my own decals using a special decal paper (it's the kind of decals you get when you build a model. You cut out the decal and dip it in water and then lay it on whatever you want it to stick to.) I then put a few layers of polyurethane on it so it won't scratch and it gives it a glossy look.

: I appreciate all of you who read my many posts. I know that it can get to be a bit annoying but I'm just starting this project and I need as much info as possible. I just thought I'd let you all know my idea for making my cab look cool. Right now it is painted all black but I want something that looks better. What I'm thinking about doing is printing up replicas off of the internet of arcade flyers on to high quality paper and then plastering the sides of my arcade cab with them. I would then laminate over it for a nice glossy finish. Anyone know how I could do something like this? I guess I could just buy real arcade flyers but are they expensive and where is the best place to find them??? Thanks.
