Nice! Are those the reproduction coin doors that are sold on KLOV?

Sure are!

They are excellent quality.

A tiny bit of progress, it's a repro coin door.

I bought one of these 50cm 5050 30 LED Rigid Strip Light Pure White Bar Cabinet Lamp DC12V from eBay for just $14.49 to light up my marquee.

Wow that looks perfect ! Can you do mine too ?  :D

Far from perfect, the camera is hiding the flaws.  ;)

Well painting was a real learning curve and the red probably turned out better that I had hoped for but now that I have some painting experience, I know I can do better next time.

Cabinet is coming along great, I can't believe how quickly you made it!

More red pictures, finally coming up nice and glossy after a lot of work fixing up my stuff ups from taking short cuts.

I've put the build log on my new Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ShadalooEU/195899487116658

Supporting the project with a simple 'like' would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the look that we are going for:


They look great!

Time to paint the red, I decided to paint it with spray cans as my roller work sucks!

I guess rolling is okay for the primer and the black inside the cabinet but I wanted a much better finish for the red.

I ended up going with Dulux Wildfire Red Quick Dry Spraypak, it has a real glossy finish.

My only problem has been these little flys that keep landing on my panels as I'm spraying, if it wasn't for that I would be 100% happy.

Great project! ...and great choice of color for this project : RED! The sexiest color for a Nintendo cabinet  :-*

Welcome to this board, RetroBorg!  :)

Glad you like the project DarthNuno, your Donkey Kong renovation and scr33n's scratch built build have been inspirational in my build!  ;D

Maybe you can help me out with the paint?


We have Dulux in Australia, is there some sort of code I can give the paint shop to mix up the right shade of red?

On Byoac forum in the miscellaneous arcade section there should be a post stickied at the top on paint codes, lots of info and links in it, I'll provide a link later when I'm not on my phone if you can't find it, it may be linked to on this site somewhere, seem to remember it being discussed here  :)

I'll have a look, thanks polaris.

I like the GBA version, the DS versions (march of the mini's and miniland mayhem) i dont really like.

thats because in the GBA version you play as mario, and the DS versions is more like a puzzle and the minis walk like lemmings..

So the GBA version has a much more simular gameplay as the classic DK (and so does the DK for gameboy)

I'll check them all out.


Talking about DK for gameboy, i saw you also posted in this klov thread  ;)
