Where is a good place to get standard or custom artwork?

 

Should I just make my own and print at fedex/kinkos onto a giant size sticker? 

 

Is there a certain material and/or glue to use more than others?

For printing many members including myself had excellent results using Brad Bowman. Just google "Decals And Printing For Your Hyperpin Cabinet" and you'll find his contact info.

Brad's the man to use for printing for sure!

Yepp. You will not be dissapointed using Brad. Highly recommended.

awesome, thanks guys!

Brad did mine. Really easy to apply with a breakaway utility knife and felt squeegee. I used Inkscape to size the vector art and sent those as PDF files. He needs both cab sides.

I am thinking of nailing my side rails now .... and aftwards install artwork — is that ok or should I keep to full side art installed first and cover up afterward with rails once the artwork is installed?

[Thalamus]

I guess that is up to you. But, I would not recommend it. Well. Take off the rails when you apply your art - then on again afterwards. It might hide small mistakes you do as well ;-)

i was actually thinking of having the artwork sized (ie cut) to be just below the rails, you never see the artwork underneath anyway. Is that going to be too hard to line up evenly on the edge of the rail? Hmm.

This is the guy we recommend using and he has a few videos out there. Maybe the video from when he puts decal to the arcade machine gives you a better picture of what to do and why I recommend it done this way

Tribute table artwork completed 10/23. Bitter sweet as with the passing of co-founder Malcolm Young. I thought I would have the cabinet together by now but there was a delay in shipping from the cabinet mfgr. I may have made a small change or two for the final version. I don't have a screen shot of it handy.

Looks nice !

I meant to add I do not take credit for the individual images. Simply put them together in a collage and arrangement.

Thanks Thalamus! This was my first time using Photoshop. Apparently you can D/L a copy free for 7 days. I just hope I do not have to make any edits because thsoe 7 days have come and gone lol!

 

Looks nice !
