Exact color yellow of original pacman
« on: December 24, 2003, 10:11:54 am »
I have decided to make a Pacman copy and want to use the correct color yellow.  Does anyone know the paint code?  Where could I find the paint?
My cab will have a single 4 way joystick with a single fire button with a 19 inch vertical computer monitor.  Its game list will include
Pac Man
Ms Pac Man
Galaxian
Galaga
Dig-dug
BurgerTime
DK and DK jr
Frogger
Space Invaders

Also, it is NOT safety yellow. It is close, but that aint it.

May also want to add these games to your list.

I would ask "1Up" whether his pacman colored Mame cabinet is an exact color match....

I wouldn't worry about whether it's the exact shade of Pacman yellow or not. Unless you'll be putting it next to a real one nobody will be able to tell the difference.

What I would do, assuming you'll be using a Pac CP overlay, marquee and/or side art would be to get them before hand and take them to the paint store with you. They'll be able to color match the paint to the yellow used on the art work.

Well, the EXACT paint codes are readily available, so there is no reason not to use them (also remember the blue speckles).

I'll be hand painting the sideart but will use original marquee, bezel glass and control panel overlay.  The color of the cab doesn't need to be exact but close.  thanks.

To begin with, most classic cabinets were not boring black boxes, so I used yellow Wilsonart laminate (D341-60 Marigold) on the outside of the cabinet, in keeping with the Pac-ish theme.
