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

Pages: << < (2/2)

kaneda:

I read all of the NEO GEO threads and everyone kept saying Behr Grenadine SG180...which is what I told the guy to use.  Now it comes out looking more orange than red.   I'm wondering if they used grey primer or not, or if a second coat would help make it more red. 

Does that WalMart paint exist?  THey've got paint named after a Disney Cars character?

cptnwhlz:

The bher does have a little extra orange to it even with the primer. Looks pretty close unless you have a neo geo cab right next to it.

kaneda:

So after reading on how people suggested multiple coats, I checked with the guys making it and they spent half the day applying 8-10 coats to get it right before snapping these photos.  So it should be spot on with the Z-Back cabinet.  Also NEO GEO's are a bit more red than the Capcom cab...Making matters worse is trying to photograph RED under bright light.  Any yellow at all in the room, from a light source, and orange comes through.  So I feel like a dope complaining the color wasn't right to them. The more I look, the more I see they nailed the Z-Back red.
