Need Your Help: Does this Red look right (trying to match Capcom Z-Back)

Pages: (1/2) > >>

kaneda:

Hey guys...first, I have to say that I thought building an arcade would be fun, but man, every turn it's another headache waiting. Why is it so painful to just get stuff done right, the first time.

So here's the deal. Trying to get a custom Mame Pedestal to match the red of Neo Geo / Street Fighter Z-Back cabinet. I had them grab the following paint code:

Behr Grenadine S-G-180

And mix in grey primer to darken it up a bit. Here's what they showed me today. It just looks more orange than red. How can I darken this up a bit, make it more RED than orange? Any thoughts. Can some of you with NEO GEO / Z-Backs help out. I'm paying these guys a lot of money and I want this to be right.

Thanks!

That does not look right (I am viewing on a calibrated sRGB display).

I have two suggestions for you...

Walmart - Lightining McQueen WDCR01

ACE Hardware - Deep Fire F13

Best of luck,
Jason

The above linked thread has some great info... if you can find that same paint, I could not in my area.

most quality paint places can punch that stuff into their computer and have it spit out their manufacturer specific code.
