Very true. More than anything, they gave a little peace of mind. That was my very first time using bondo, the corner was second.
Mauzy:
Went and had paint matched from a small chip I took out of the hole in the front. Came out PERFECT! For any restorers in the midwest, I got my paint at Menards. I used Pittsburgh Paints Interior Latex Semi Gloss Enamel. The code will be shown below in a picture.
BTW, a gallon is WAY too much paint... I could've gotten by with a little over a quart, but it was the same for the money and I may end up picking up another DK...
Two coats primer, two coats blue. light hand sand in between with Super fine foam rollers. Moved it back to the basement so I could park in the garage. This will be it's final spot here.
Still working on the coin door.
Also, a question for y'all. How does anyone restore a machine without a Midway cocktail cab to lay all of the small parts and tools on?

Looks great! How long did you wait in between coats? Did you get all the painting done in one day?
Also, the picture is hard to read (for the paint codes). :cheers:
Mauzy:
I waited 24 hours between coat with a large barn fan blowing on it for a few hours after each coat. For some reason I chose the few most humid days of the year so far.
Nice catch on the readability of that code. The pics are larger when they come off the camera. Here is what it says (just for reference)
For anyone who uses this in the future: keep in mind this is for a GALLON.

Thanks for the codes. I'll probably use them for mine. Did you repaint the black on the interior? I'm thinking about removing the front panel and speaker panel to paint everything. I still have some more bondo to apply. I had a ton of gouges and some holes along the back that were hard to repair. Keep up the great work! :cheers:
