Colour matching question Jungle Queen Cabinet please?
« on: April 04, 2010, 06:20:01 PM »
I have been through 3 books of car colour matching examples for enamel paints looking for the orange and cream colours on my Jungle Queen cabinet to no avail.

Also been to Bunnings and got the orange / yellow cards but different again.
I do not have any colour matching charts that explore orange in any detail.
Has anyone repainted the Jungle Queen cabinet in the past and know the colours or got any ideas on how I can make this easier than it appears?

Any assistamce or direction would be greatly appreciated.

When you paint the whole cabinet JD it really doesnt matter just any color close looks great.  And teh cream would have originally been white so try an antique white  ^^^

Under the lock down bar and under the legs will be a true representation of the base white colour.

If you want to restore this machine to ORIGINAL then you really need to match your colours.

On a pinball - there is no such colour as WHITE... it might look white, but it isnt, it will be a VERY light shade of yellow or red or blue. The linseed finish applied over the top makes it turn a deeper yellow, but underneath is an OFF WHITE.

JD.. if you can get some of the paint off.... a tiny amount is all thats needed - say 3mm or bigger of the OFF white, orange AND the black ( black aint always black either, there is HARD black and SOFT black) and post them to me I will match the colours straight away for you and supply the codes... you can walk into any paint shop and have them mixed on the spot.
 If you can supply a part of the base colour with the fleck on it.. ill tell you what this is also
