I am almost done with my centipede restore so I am moving on to the next game, R-type. When I got this I had assumed it was painted but the more I look at it I think the original color was gray. Did Nintendo make any r-types this color?

It is certainly possible, it was the same cabinet, but usually the R-types were black. Even so I have seen a few R-Types in the gray cabinets over the years. Most of the gray cabinets were made for dedicated versus machines, but that's not to say that Nintendo didn't stick R-Types in a few of them. Either way the gray is legit for Nintendo anyway.
Up to you, but personally, I think it looks awesome in black.
The cabinet is garbage. New cabinet all the way. Ill use black melamine.
Looks good. is that the Pica vinyl on the sides? Ive never used it. Is it smooth enough to put side art over?
Im going to have to try that. Do you just paint on the inside of the sides and around the coin door or do you use it there also?
