What about ARCANADIAN?

Anyway you should paint it black and silver (go All Blacks)

Also, you could move it to a specific great thing about canada..

Labatts Blue  lettering and background with
Arcade Mame... Having a Labatts blue cab would be cool

Assuming you like Labatts over some of the other beers.

And assuming you like beer..

FYI;  There is a beer Canada called "Canadian".  This brewed by Molson, which is now owned by Coors and Molson Canadian is rival to Labatt Blue here in Canada.

And Molson Canadian's slogan is... I am Canadian.  http://www.iam.ca/  

So use a either use a Red & White theme cab and play on the I am slogan.  Or Blue & White for labatts.  

But there's another Canadian view regarding your colour scheme.  Red & White, Montreal Canadiens or Blue & White, Maple Suckie Leafs.


I would go Red & White and call it..  MAMEARCADIEN

The theme i'm building is ultra modern, black, with brushed aluminum, and chrome t molding with blue glow trackball and blue ground effects lights, not that I want you to copy my theme, but it looks SSSWEEEEEEEEEEET!!  lol  I'd go with the modern look, no offense to the canadians  ;D

I'm glad GGKoul kinda cleared this up already .. Labatt != beer
 :D

My wife said if it didn't match the furniture, it's going in the garage -- so mine is all natural wood and chrome/brushed metal

And it does ineed look like some fancy "furniture" but people are blown away when then see what it really is.

Where are you putting your cab? In the dining room?

My wife had no say about the colour scheme of my cab.... as my cab is in MY BASEMENT.  And the rest of the house is her's.
