I really appreciate your tip re colour matching Tony .. so simple , which is probably why it never occurred to me . Will definitely do the same when I repaint the cab on Lady Luck very soon.
Dave,
There must be at least 20 shades of
each of the 'major' colours used on pinball machines, not just cab paint but also playfields and backglasses.
Once I did the match took the samples back up to the paint shop and they mixed them on the spot - was interesting to watch the different amounts of colours that went into making each.
