Bugger. Thanks for looking  though. Extremely hard to find.  Perhaps Haggis will have parts available in the future.

I didn't realize how much work goes into a cab restore
never done anything like this unsure on what paint i am going to use satin is the most forgiving
would like it close to original as i can get
or if someone would like to share there paint colour that they used would be goodmarked the pantone chart with a x of the colours

If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Cabinets can sometimes require a lot of work. But it is worth it in the end !

I just take the cabinet to my paint supplier and get the colours matched and mixed.. easy peasy and they usually get the match pretty damn close. 90% of the time i'm doing a total repaint so it doesn't have to match 100% i tell them.

That blue you've chosen looks pretty good to me, i'd be happy with it. I have a Fathom coming up in the queue for a repaint in the next few months myself!

Best part about doing a restore for yourself it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks  mate. 

   Looks good to me
