Donkey Kong Blue?
frog:
I'm having trouble finding a match to the blue that is on my Donkey Kong. I'm in the process of sanding and filling scrapes to repaint a cab. I went to Home Depot and Menard's to find a match, but the colors are a little different. I found two colors by Dutch Boy. One is a little dark and the other is light. Anyone have a suggestion?
If you had to choose between the light one or the dark one, what would you choose?

Might want to check out this restoration project. Paint color he used is linked to his color selection, but it's a fantastic build if you haven't seen it yet.

Can you chip a small piece of the paint and take it in so they can match it/mix colors and get you the right color?

I thought about the paint chip thing right after I posted this. I walked away from the computer and remembered I broke a chunk off tonight while sanding.
I have another question. What do you use to fill scratches and holes on a Nintendo cabinet? It has some kind of plastic / formica on it. I read somewhere to use bondo. I tried that tonight. I have done bodywork before and the bondo works good, but it takes forever to sand. I used 180 cause I didn't want to break through the plastic / what ever. Somewhere someone said to use a plastic filler, which Menard's didn't have.
What is the best thing to use?
I'm starting to think a regular wood filer might work?

Since when is bondo hard to sand? Are you using only hand power to sand it? I'd look into an orbital sander if I was you. They do awesome work! I just used mine today on bondo to fix a "doh!" I did on my CP. Worked really nice.
