[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 281138, member: 7404"] Lag bolts look nice in my opinion. Stainless is not as shiny as galvanized. My first cabinet had a latex paint finish. It looks ok but the paint wore funny where your palms rest when playing pinball. This time I will try polyurethane instead. I will stain the cabinet black and apply a bunch a polyurethane coats. Probably 2 or 3 thin coats overall. Then a few more on the lockdown plank. I will have to paint the inside a little where it might show from the outside with black paint. The backglass cabinet from the original build is already painted but I had a few holes to fill on it from first build and a little touchup paint. It will take me a few days to get the finish applied. Meantime I will get my PC and controllers setup. I am going to add a few buttons to the backglass cabinet to control volume and add a PC power button. I had the PC power button on the lower cabinet in first build. I want it up on the side of the backglass this time. I use software to set keystrokes for volume up and volume down. One controller I am using this time will emulate keystrokes so any button can be a keyboard key. It is called a KeyWiz controller from GroovyGameGear.com. Time to apply the finishes.
