| Donkey Kong Blue? |

I'm having trouble finding a match to the blue that is on my Donkey Kong. I'm in the process of sanding and filling scrapes to repaint a cab. I went to Home Depot and Menard's to find a match, but the colors are a little different. I found two colors by Dutch Boy. One is a little dark and the other is light. Anyone have a suggestion? If you had to choose between the light one or the dark one, what would you choose? |

Might want to check out this restoration project. Paint color he used is linked to his color selection, but it's a fantastic build if you haven't seen it yet. -csa |

Can you chip a small piece of the paint and take it in so they can match it/mix colors and get you the right color? |

I thought about the paint chip thing right after I posted this. I walked away from the computer and remembered I broke a chunk off tonight while sanding. I have another question. What do you use to fill scratches and holes on a Nintendo cabinet? It has some kind of plastic / formica on it. I read somewhere to use bondo. I tried that tonight. I have done bodywork before and the bondo works good, but it takes forever to sand. I used 180 cause I didn't want to break through the plastic / what ever. Somewhere someone said to use a plastic filler, which Menard's didn't have. What is the best thing to use? I'm starting to think a regular wood filer might work? |

Since when is bondo hard to sand? Are you using only hand power to sand it? I'd look into an orbital sander if I was you. They do awesome work! I just used mine today on bondo to fix a "doh!" I did on my CP. Worked really nice. |
