Happy New Year All,

Hoping that someone here on KLOV had a color code for Nintendo red by Behr.
I'm in Canada and the Home Depot is readily available. I've been very happy with Behr paint in the past. My DK Jr orange and even my DK blue have been Behr.
Was hoping that perhaps someone has a code for the red.

Thanks all
 
I took my sample to lowes...menards..and Sherwin Williams...none of them could match dk red in semi gloss oil based. They could in latex...but I didn't want to go that route. I just ended up ordering the red dk vinyl kit from thisoldgame.com. I hear that is going to be the best way to match the color.
 
I know for myself I have always used latex and been happy with the results.
If I am able to get the Behr code I'll do the same with this next project I am doing.
 
I picked up a quart of the paint from Lowes tonight.
Interesting note, in Canada they dont have the red base paint in Semi-Gloss.
I had to get mine in eggshell. I can always put some clear on after.
 
Turned out well, and all be it the paint is flat (vs. all others are semi gloss) in the basement I don't notice any issues with the finish. To be honest I like that Mario Bros is the final cabinet in the row, the paint looks smooth and even.

One thing I did notice is that the paint comes off easily. I've never had the issue prior. I think the existing paint was oil perhaps ? I myself used latex.

Could be that, or the fact that perhaps I didn't scuff up the paint enough prior, or the Lowes prodcut ? Either way I will touch up the needed areas and HOPE, HOPE, HOPE that I can pull off the art install on the 1st attempt !







 
Is that Popeye a mame or does it just have an odd control panel?
 
Popeye has two control panels, one laid out in a vs. pattern with Bad Dudes inside the cabinet. I also have the Popeye CPO and a second panel I can swap.
Going to wire everything thru molex connections one day.
