I need to perform some major surgery on a Nintendo cabinet and I wanted to get some feedback from the experts. The bottom 2 feet of the cabinet is water damaged and the Plywood is swelled from the very inside out. It is also chipped and flacking from being dragged around the floor with a missing base.
I want to cut off the offending wood and replace it with new but was concerned about some major issues:
1) How to reinforce the inside without getting too invasive and getting it back to as much factory original appearance as possible. I do not want the top and bottom pieces to seperate or crack the bondo filler if the cabinet is pushed or pulled to roughly. (My concern is that this game is toted around to conventions quite a bit and I need it to be able to handle being pushed and dragged several times a year by volunteers who are not as concerned about the cabinet as me.)
2) What are the paint codes for nintendo cabinets? I would like to get paint codes for the Black Punchout/Playchoice; Orange DK Jr/Vs; Baby Blue Popeye, and Red for Radar Scope.
3) I intend to use an enamel semi-gloss paint, what is the closest match to the factory original and how many coats are recommended?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!
