Title: Unisystem Blue..... what is that color exactly?
Post by: Lecithin on February 19, 2009, 10:18:10 pm
The name says it all. I'm working on restoring my Vs Super Mario Bros and want to know if anyone has a good match for that wonderful blue. Is there a commonly found blue out there that is a match? Do people go another way normally (can you find that blue material anywhere, formica?)

Mmmm, I always thought those systems were gray? The Blue one on KLOV is a Donkey Kong conversion.

I'm pretty sure that's a DK conversion. You can even see here, that the original DK bezel was just flipped backwards: http://www.klov.com/images/11/1181242185106.jpg

So, if that's what you want, look for "Donkey Kong Blue" paint codes.

yes, the unisystems are DK conversions so I'll look for "DK blue"

Thanks for the help!

...and a DK pcb, CP, and artwork, right? Yeah. You just forgot to add that.  ;D

I've been looking for a DK cab for a while so I am quite jealous no matter which way you go with this.
