Thanks Wade. Didn't know if it had the glass feel to it. I have four cabs I will be redoing in the next year sometime and looking for the easiest/fastest way to do it.
If it weren't for keeping everything else in the garage clean would spraying it be faster, smoother, cleaner?
I am turning my back porch into a temporary spray booth for painting stuff so the clean thing isn't a big problem.

No, when I spray, it always ends up taking a lot of time, trial and error, etc. Clean up just adds to the time. It is possible that spraying this Junior would have taken the same amount of time or less than rolling, if I'd gone that way. I removed the front panels and there is only one color, so it would have been easier than some spray jobs. Rolling was mostly for convenience this time - I could run to basement and do a coat and clean up the rollers in about 30 minutes, then get back to normal life. (Spraying would have taken much larger chunks of time.)
Quickest, easiest, and best results for me always comes from laminating with formica style laminate. It costs more than just paint though, and there aren't colors to match every game. Typically it costs around $100 per game.

The original DK Jr. Decals had the white lettering, but the orange letters match too.
If you decide to get that decal instruction sticker for under the bezel, for reference....it is supposed to be centered with the joystick. 2.5 inches in from the left side edge. I just measured mine for ya.

Wow am I late in finding this
when I orginally did the coin decals I was sent nos yellow and orange
the whites to my understanding were Popeye and Mario Bros to what Ive been told
so many color variations and designs have turned up on most Nintendo Games
my next question is the bezel instrucker sticker
again conflicting reports
great job wade hope mine turns out that nice
