I bought a working blue Nintendo Vs. Golf about a month ago. Here are the results of my efforts. I started by taking care of some structural issues with wood glue, screws, and finishing nails. Then I applied wood filler and sanded. Next the entire cab got two coats of oil-based primer, the blue areas got three coats of oil-based DKJR orange, and the black areas got three coats of oil-based flat black. The side art wasn't too bad and I didn't feel like spending extra money on the most boring side art ever, so I masked around it with painters tape, trimmed off the excess with an xacto knife, and just painted around it. Then the coin door and the upper and lower marquee brackets got one coat of spray primer and three coats of black appliance spray paint. The coin mech front plates got one coat of spray primer and three coats of flat light gray spray paint. Next I used an orbital buffer and some Novus to remove most of the scratches on the bezel, cleaned up the CPO and marquee the best I could, polished all of the exposed bolts with steel wool, added new t-molding and a coin sticker and it's done. Now I'm going to convert it to a Dr. Mario.
 
Looks real nice and very familiar. I am still waiting to convert all my vs. Castlevania stuff to my DK cab painted black as night. Still haven't found a vs. Castlevania marquee.
 
Looks good, mate. Why did you decide on an Orange Vs cab, rather than just leaving it blue?

You can take the worlds worst Vs game out of that cab, now

orange > blu

Vs. golf > Hogans Alley

I like the Blue Vs cabs better, only cause thats what I am used to. Orange cabs should be used strictly for DK. No, not Jr, DK.

Vs Golf = the most suck ass game ever.
 
The blue DK cabs are the most boring cabs I can think of from the Nintendo line-up. I mean, they were used in DK, Popeye, sometimes DKjr, vs. games and some poor PC-10 conversions. Enough. They are everywhere and I am sick of them. The orange is more fun, vibrant and makes me think of the DKJR cereal they used to have. Also, for some reason, Runts candy.
 
What is funny is that the only Nintendo's I've owned as of yet are all orange.

I agree with that statement but I currently have three orange Nintendo cabinets in the garage. Two of them are Vs. and One of them is a DK jr. Not to mention my DK Jr. in my collection.
