Color codes will be hard to find. You have pantone charts and pigment colors - it can be very confusing.

What you need to do to remove the front door trim. Just remove one side (3 carriage bolts) and you will see at least the original base color and possibly the yellow. Take the lower cabinet to a paint supplier and have them match the color and finish. Depending on how you wish to apply the paint, some suppliers can give you the colors in spray cans, or you can take it home in a can and spray with an spray gun. Most suppliers have a standard black, which is not the right finish. It needs to have the same finish (a semi gloss) as the gold (yellow) and red.

Thanks Nino,

I'm picking it up next weekend so hopefully the colours are still there behind the door trim. I have a spray booth at work so will set up and do it there. Once I have the machine I'll see what else I need before taking it apart and getting started on the cabinet re paint and playfield swap. Thanks to the "playfield rotisserie" posts I've read recently, I'll make one of those up also. So I'm sure to have a lot more questions before I even get started on this one. Looking forward to it though.
