Pacman Yellow
« on: March 26, 2004, 02:09:39 pm »
I am going to do the wood glue and filler thing on my pacman cabinet this weekend to get it ready for the paint.  At first I was going to have Sherman Williams mix the exact colors with some codes I found on the net but I think I am gonna test some spray can stuff first.  Picked up a can of Rustoleum Sunburst Yellow at the hardware store.  (thought that one was the closest match although I might be wrong)  Going to hit one of the edges lightly with it just to see how close it is.  If that doesn't work, then I will try safety yellow.  If none of it works then i guess I will go visit Sherman Williams and invest in an airbrush.  Anyone else ever try to match paint before?

It's not safety yellow, nor is it sun yellow.  I don't have the codes handy, but I can tell you that much.

Well, I am going to go ahead and do a test patch tonight.  I can always paint over it right?  Looks like I will have to do the color codes though.  Thanx for your input.

The problem is with the color codes, the paint is a match of NEW paint, not paint that has been on a cab for 23 years, unless you are planning on painting the whole thing over?

Best bet may be to try and chip a little piece away from the back somewhere, take it in and have that color matched.

Just my $.02

ALso, if you are painting this new from scratch yourself, then use a foam roller and not a spray can. You wouldn't believe how many spray cans it takes to do a good paint job on a cabinet. I think my old red Defender cabinet took almost 30, and my old Pac took over a dozen.

Here is a quick update on my color matching test.  I did a spot test on my pacman cab on friday with the Rustoleum sunburst and it matched perfectly.  I mean perfectly, no slight changed in hue or saturation.  I am goingto sand and prime around the main artwork and then go back in with the rustoleum with the artwork masked off.  Down the road I am going to invest in a compressor and airbrush and then finish off the artwork with color coded blue and orange.  As always, opinions are welcome and appreciated.

My turn to paint my cabinet... I'm still unsure of the exact yellow color match (with the blue specks).  Someone said NOT the sherwin williams yellow.  If not, what is the correct match/code/link?  As always, Thanks in advance.

(yes I searched for this, couldn't find any specific links other than previously posted safety yellow link above).

someone suggested taking in your marquee/sideart and getting that color matched.  Even if you get the exact original pac paint, it won't look good if it is noticeably different than the art

I used Rustoliem Oil-Based Saftey Yellow (quart sized)

It matched the one at a local laundromat perfectly.

Here's how it turned out.

Cool - I was just guessing that that was what the game was!!!
