Picked up the DK3 with some other games. Was this originally A red Cab DK?

I know it's unpopular but I actually like dk3 but I've always wanted a red cab DK over the blue. so if it was Gonna be switching it back.

Doesn't look to have been repainted.

Fproduction%2F3e7112b4-aa2a-4fe6-b4f4-8e596c092d85.jpgMight have been relaminated or the tag is replaced, looks like thicker plywood compared to Japanese cab as well based on the t molding hard to see in the photos
 
7 slot , looks all original to me no hackery, Ive probably had 30-40 DKs. Original glossy red laminate. Could have been a radarscope cabinent or a red DK cabinent ( Though I thought they'd have DK3 not DK4 tag)

Ah mystery solved...had a closer look today in the daylight. Was a 2 board blue dk somebody painted but with really nice urethane 2k automotive grade paint. Felt like gelcoat . Nice paint job . Guess will just keep it as a DK3 probably. I like that game.
 
Whoever painted that did an unbelievably good job. Too bad they stuck the art up about 2 inches too high, I knew with that tkg4 tag it probably wasn't an original red. This is why people always suggest laminate because paint chips no matter how good of a job you do, laminate is 1000x tougher. Anyways nice pickup, dk 3 is not for the faint of heart.

Yeah they laid it right over the bolts too. Crazy to think somebody have it painted so nice then totally bomb it there. Easy enough to fix though. Messes with my ocd big time . This cab art is really growing on me.
 
It's too glossy to match a real red DK. The color looks off to me too.
