DK 3 to Donkey Kong conversion/resto *FINISHED*
ZORK2:
Ok for 5$ you convinced me to get one of those restrictor plates! ;)
Hope if gives it a close to authentic feel.
Anyway, a big part of the day was spend TAPING off stuff! I wanted to different black colors on the game. The back, stand, and entire interior of the cab I wanted a flat black. Mostly because I didn't want any glare from the monitor reflection off the walls inside the cabinate. I ended up using a Sherwin Williams latexm it is called "black magic". It turned out really nice. For the black around the CP and down the sides, I wanted something a bit shineyer, and also I wanted to spray it on so it would look more even. I ended up using Valspar Black Satin......
Here are the shots from the paint booth

I think the 2 different black colors can be seen in these?!?
ZORK2:
And one more coat of DK blue! It's really starting to come together!
Just put the bondo on the coin door for the night. It took quite a bit to fill all the dings, but I think it is going to work!
This is it for the night.....enjoy.....

If you want an easier time with the wire wheel, see my thread on electrolysis in Arcade Misc.
ZORK2:
I had a fairly productive day today, I got a late start on account of picking up a really nice looking Cenipede for $60!! (MORE ON THIS ONE LATER!!)
So it was after 1:00pm by the time I got going today.
First off, I sanded down the bondo on the coin door. I think it is going to work nicely. I put a second batch of bondo on it after the second pic was taken in order to build it up a bit better. It still had come low spots, here is the progress.
