Greetings fellow BYOACers.
I recently acquired a converted Journey, and a partially stripped Space Invaders and noticed that the blue color on the cabinets is or is nearly identical.
Does anyone know the color codes for Journey and/or Space Invaders?
I found a paint code for Super Pacman from http://www.oleszakcreative.com/paint.asp
This match came from Jim Chaudrue from Philly Arcade dot com:
Home Depot Evermore Latex Enamel Deep Base
D (Thalo Green) 0/34/1 E(Thalo Blue) 1/23/0
KX(White) 0/3/1 R(Exterior Red) 0/34/0
Does anyone know if the Super Pacman blue would match the Space Invaders Blue or the Journey blue?
All 3 games being from Bally Midway, does anyone know if the blue paint on these cabinets is all the same code? I don't have a Super Pac to compare.

Krylon Navy Blue gloss spray-paint is an exact match in color for Super Pac-Man. It has the right amount of green tint in it that other brands of blue don't have. It is overly glossy but that can be fixed with a simple over-spray of Krylon semi-gloss or satin Clear to reduce the sheen.
It will be a bit darker/bluer than the typical faded color you see (which takes on the green tinge), but compare it against the unfaded parts like under the coin door or back handle pieces and you'll find it is the same as the original.
Try some of that to compare to Journey and SI.

Thanks Pac-Fan. I will experiment with the Krylon. I have used Krylon brand for other stuff and it is great.
