Hey, I'm curious if anyone has accurate Pantone matches for the colors painted on a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet? The only matches listed are mixed on obsolete latex paint bases, and I'm interested in refinishing in lacquer, or at the very least oil-based. Seems kind of a waste to get 3 small cans of latex mixed just to get my hands on the original colors.

I could likely find a pretty good spot on the cabinet to match the blue from if need be, but that pink is kind of a roadblock.

As a side note, this would be great info (for all machines) to have available, and isn't dependent on paint base/brand/type. If a brand is discontinued, or someone is in an area or country where it isn't sold, or intending to use latex vs oil vs lacquer vs rattlecan, it would all be relevant.

One of the many fields of info that would be nice to have listed on the KLOV site :)
 
what good is a pantone color when it comes to paint? I've never seen a paint shop that mixes to pantone number.
 
you looking to touchup existing art or repaint/stencil the cabinet?

if touching up theres no number that will help you match what you currently have
do to aging and fading, orginal MsPac colors are like fingerprints and snowflakes
no 2 cabs are exactly alike :D
 
I'm looking to repaint and restencil the entire cabinet, so mostly looking for closest to the original colors, regardless of the damage that sunlight, nicotine, and time have done to the cabinet I have.

Yeah I know they won't mix to Pantone match at a paint shop, but then I could at least take a color chip down to get matched, since my other option is mixing up three cans of Glidden latex that I won't use and having them match to that. Or alternately, if anyone has mixed a match to the original colors, if they would slap some paint on 3x5 index cards and mail 'em to me would be another option. I'd pay for their postage and time with PayPal and gratitude haha.. :)
