Building my first arcade cabinet: Part IV

Time for priming and painting!  After filling in screw holes and sanding, I made a trip to the hardware store and bought some spray-on primer and paint.  I have been deliberating the merits of spray paint vs a tin of paint and roller, but in the end I went the spray route.  I must say that particleboard soaks up a lot of primer and paint!  I'm not exactly sure how many cans of primer and paint I went through (maybe 9 in total!), but hopefully the end result will justify the higher-than-anticipated expenditure!  Here are some progress photos for your enjoyment :)
