This Original Arcade Cabinet Paint Tips and Codes may be of some interest to anyone trying to find the right shade (tint) of color for their original/replica arcade cabinet.

According to this guide the Donkey Kong Blue posted at Appolo.com is too dark and in the wrong hue.

However, since there is no accurate color yet sampled in this giude the Appolo color code is probably your best bet, unless you take a sample (paint chip) of an original DK to your local paint/hardware store and get them to match it for you.

Best of luck!  And be sure to post some pics of your cab when you're finished. :)

I used Lowes Enterprise Semi Gloss oil based paint (same kind as others used on Brian's Arcade site). They matched a piece of laminate that chipped off the cab to this:
Base 4-1134
added colors:
 101 -1 shot
 102 -25 shots
 103 -7 shots
 113 -2 ounces, 13 shots, 1 half shot

I think it matches quite well :) , just not sure what kind of brush to use so I do not get all the brush marks. Might try to lightly sand then add another coat. In the pic I have painted the right most part of the cab.

Brush?? Why not a roller?

Donkey Kong, as was most Nintendo cabinets was finished in Formica laminate and not painted. Paint does not stick to Formica. It scratches right off.
