Laminate
« on: October 05, 2009, 03:50:37 pm »
Does anyone know where I might find some "Pac Man Yellow" laminate?

I tried searching, but the search function doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment.

The larger laminate companies (Formica/Wilsonart etc) should have something similiar if you aren't going the painting route.

Formica Chrome yellow code 1485 is so near as damn it no one would notice. It's the colour I'm doing my cab.

The colour on their website is NOTHING like the actual colour of the laminate, so ignore the pic on the web. Formica will send you a free sample before you buy, which is how i discovered it, because i ordered free samples of every yellow laminate i could find trying to find Pac-Man yellow.

Edited to add a link to product and photo of laminate sample. NB... even the photo doesn't display correctly. No Idea why?

Wow Silas, that is very close indeed!  Can't wait to see that applied...tend to not see to many projects using colours other than black laminate. Wonder if I can find a fern green equivalent via the samples like you did?

I can't wait to see it applied either. I've got 2 rolls of orange T-Molding to set it off nicely  ;D

In my quest for samples I also stumbled across a really retro shade of orange (Formica F4155 VEL 'SUN') that I'm planning to use for an upright driving cab with white checker vinyl and maybe a nice 70's garish blue T-Mold.
