Title: Taito Universal Cabinet Gray Color? Color Match Help Needed!
Post by: jahilbert on February 27, 2019, 02:20:55 pm: Has anyone matched the gray for the Taito Universal Cabinet? I am working on a Championship V'Ball cab and I have the "Taito" and "Stripes" but I need to paint the gray.

Any help would be appreciated!

Play nicely kids, or it's bedtime for both of you. Don't make me take off my belt. ;D
Fetch me a beer from the icebox, and I'll tell ya the story of how dirt was invented.

Oh, cool! I just noticed, Spock is giving the bird.

Careful now. It's posts like these that make people lose their s**t, write a long-winded locked post about how their problems are much greater than anyone else's.
