Robotron Side art?
« on: May 04, 2003, 12:04:53 am »
Would anyone know of or have a image of this? I did find I stencil set, but its $125 and I just dont have the money. I have looked at a few but nothing that I can use..

btw, what the hell color are the sides? White? Silver? I am trying to replicate it with psp but having no luck what so ever.

I managed to find a listing of the colors:

Sherman Williams Isle of Capri (blue)  SW1783
Sherman Williams  Theater Red  (red) SW1602
Sherman Williams Sliverado  (silver)  SW1005 - not exact, but as close as I could get.

Now to get them as close as I can in psp.

 Its a silver color. Here is a site where someone did a complete side restore with the paint codes he used-

http://www.arcadefever.com/robotronproject.htm

 He has a nice side profile that you could blow up and trace if you want to make your own stencils. I used a similar picture of a Robotron mini to make stencils. I went the tracing paper route, but if your good with Adobe Illustrator you could use that instead. Its a pretty simple side art to copy, just a bunch of strait lines.

 Edit- Heh, I see you found the site on your own.

This guy used the same paint colors but did a little tweaking on the silver...

Robotron colors come from Appolo.com, I post them here because I have verified the color against a real restoration I have done and confirmed the match. With the silver specifically, the answer to get it right was to add a touch of black to the paint and then get some aluminum dust from an auto body shop. With those alterations, the paint is dead on.
