DK2 Restoration? err... Project? - This machine has been Sold!
RetroACTIVE:
I've begun restoration of a Nintendo (Popeye converted to a Vs.) to a Donkey Kong 2. Like I said... not sure if this is a restore or project thread... either way... it will have original DK boardset + wiring + power supply.
As you can see, I've dismantled the cabinet as best I could without damaging it. I didn't have to pry anything apart hardly at all since all of the glue holding the blocks has given out...
These first few pics represent 2 days of bondo and primer primer work... plus a little woodworking as I had to re-fab the base.
Anyhoo... it begins.

Given that it's part of the Donkey Kong legacy, I think you're in the right place.
Can't wait to see it.

Ok... got the blue applied... I used Sherwin Williams industrial marine grade enamel... WHAT A PAIN!
Rustoleum... believe it or not a much better paint for this app. It thins better and it spreads better... The only thing that would work for a thinner with this paint was 100% mineral spirits... any other thinner goobered up the finish!

Here are a couple more pics of the other panels
