Goatboy's Sega Net City SD Project

Post by OldFoo »

Hello Everybody,



Already posted this on a Dutch arcade forum (www.nozomi.nl) and thought, why not sharing it on here as well. This is my first Naomi Net City refurb job and i'm really proud of the end result if i may say so. The only thing left to do is getting a new marquee holder and tri-syncing the monitor.



Alright, This is how i picked it up last year. Plastics were a little yellowed and the metal parts especially the base was a little rusty. The sidecovers had some really ugly scratched and stains on the coating as well.

I didn't paint my Blast because it was in good nick already. :smt004 But most of the BC parts are plastic (except the coin doors are metal) and quite easy to dismantle and paint.



Clean the surface and just rough/sand the surface a bit. Apply plastic primer (just one layer). After that apply at least 3 layers of high gloss white paint. Sand down the layers in between with wet 1200 sand paper for a smooth finish. Sounds easy huh! ;)
