Which of these 2 silvers on a Robotron Restoration?
(1/2) > >>
8BitMonk:
Looking for a little feedback, restoring a Robotron and debating which of these two silvers (Rustoleum Aluminum or Stainless Steel) to use. It's totally subjective, just looking for opinions. I'm leaning towards the darker, I think it's closer to the original and will hold up better.

I'd go with the darker one as well.  It should look really good once the red and blue are down on top of it.

Thanks for the feedback. For anyone else stumbling upon this below are red/blue examples of the gamestencils.com colors and Rustoleum. I'm going with the rattle can Rustoleums for red/blue, gamestencils.com red is way off and blue is too bright. I'll start a restoration thread once I'm farther along.

Don't know why this was moved to restorations, the purpose of the post was a general question about color choice, not about the restoration.  :dunno

I think it's relative to restorations, as you're trying to match the original.
