I am really happy with the way my DK turned out (link csa3d posed up above there). I took in a chunk of paint from behind the rim of the coin door (paint that hadnt seen light in 20+ years and was hopefully more true than the paint that had been exposed to smoke, beer and smoke for 20+ years). Give it a shot get a quart of it and see how ya like it. Neil |

Definitely take a sample in. Some stores have a thing that scans it and automatically figures out how to make a match. You don't even have to use those 15 million cards they have with samples. |

I finally had a little time to work on this. I was hand (block) sanding everthing. I spent 4 hours Sunday night sanding without getting as far as I wanted to. Actually the cab I'm working on isn't that nice. I got some sand paper for my orbital sander and that made a big difference. I don't like the way the orbital sands down the bondo, hard to make straight. If you use the sander to knock the bondo down and then block it out it works great. Saves allot of time. I had another question, there was a link to Neiyboy's restore. I really like what he did. In case he doesn't see this again, this question is for everyone. When Neil was making the control panel he went with a Sanwa joystick, is there an advantage with this joystick? I found one on line today and it was actually cheaper than another joystick that I found that was supposed to be a Nintendo replacement, but used an adaptor plate to mount it. The Sanwa has a nice look to it and makes a version that fits the Nintendo control panel, but I wanted to know if it felt anything like a Nintendo Joystick? I like the idea of staying original, but every Nintendo 4 way joystick I've seen has problems. If you would restore a Donkey Kong what joystick would you use? |
