I picked up a donkey kong 3 awhile back and was stripping the black spray paint off to find the sides were pretty banged up. It was orange I have to repaint it anyway so I'm looking for anyone that knows if these were all kits or what color was the dedicated version was. Also any ideas of paint codes.
Thanks
 
I thought about red too. I'm afraid if my red came out real good I would be striping down my donkey kong to put in it. One of my grails is a original red donkey kong.
 
Mine is orange since it is a converted DK Jr cab. I think orange and blue would be the most common colors as the two originals were converted. I don't remember any red DKs around here, so I probably never saw a red DK3 when I was growing up.

(Hey, everyone knew Phet was going to post this eventually anyway :D)
 
I think it looks best in red. Like Dan said though, it was a kit so I've seen it in blue and orange. It comes down to personal preference.
 
I have a Dk3 in an orange cab but would love to paint it one day to a red cab thats the way I remember playing it.
 
Lime GREEN looks Sweet. Also use green t moulding. lOOKS AWSOME, TRUST ME.
I DID ONE AND SOLD IT.

Wait, did you really think it looked that sweet? You did sell it after all. ;-)

Got any pictures? There HAS to be a picture. Or get a pic from the guy you sold it to. no pressure. :)

I have to say that red looks really nice. I also want to see pictures of the lime green cabinet. Anybody know what color that is or brand I assume just a standard red.
 
Phets cab above is done with vinyl (you still have to paint first). Do a search for his original thread and you can find more details on how he did it.

No way. Thats awesome! Thanks for the speculation.
 
Mine never gets any love. I favor orange and red.

That's how I feel every time your Mario Bros is cited next to the statement 'best Mario Restore evar'. Mine just sits in the corner, rocking back and forth and crying. Your DK3 is very nice Greg.

Ha ha, thanks, I just ran across this thread (a little late) I was hoping to catch you at CAX this year and compare notes. I had to settle with buying Chris25810 a beer instead (J/K) Perhaps next year my good lad.
