Im going to silkscreen a small run of HyperSports Cpos.
I know theres 2 versions- Orange and Yellow.
Anyone know why?
or which is the more common or perferred color??

Since Ill be screening these Ill most likely only do the 1 version.

I didn't even know there was an orange version till recently! Why, I have no idea since most of the cab has a yellow theme-that's what I remember most of them were......My choice would be yellow.....
 
I don't care which one is right either. Though the one I had that I sold to my buddy
seemed to be more of the yellow version. Dedicated cab.

count me in for one.
 
Riki-
My opinion is to go with whatever the "constant" availible art is. In other words, even if like it was stated by deadly that the "orange-ish" matched the cab and cpo - I would prefer that all the colors matched.
So if the sideart is yellow - match the cpo and marquee to it. The cab paint can be matched as well. It may not be "factory", but I personally think it would look better. Like having your fender and door on a car repainted and it doesnt quite match.
Close only counts in Horeshoes and hand grenades.:rolleyes:
 
the sideart and marquee are the yellow color.

I would prefer the cpo be the same.
 
is it at all possible the orange just faded
turning them more yellow??

most of the pics I ve seen so far seem pretty faded sideart and marquee especially
red pigments fade the quickest and remove the red from orange and you get yellow
along with the added typical yellowing of the polycarbonate over the years
got me thinking if that was possible.
 
Here is the flyer if that helps...

I assure you not possible. You'll agree when you have my CPO in hand. It may have slight fading but orange is orange. Without a doubt there was/is two variations.
 
I believe there were the 2 color versions as well but I think the yellow ones would be a nice match to the marquee,front of the cab,etc. also wasn't Richie Knucklez' working on restoring one? I like to see some pics when its done.
 
I'm in the process of re-doing one myself. Count me in for a yellow one too. Can you get a yellow marquee to match it anywheres?
 
I have a cabinet I am gonna restore and I am pretty sure it has an original orange CPO. It's got some cracking otherwise I would have tried to clean it up and keep it.
 
if there is a vote, mine is yellow to match
Well if hes going by popular demand, I think he (Rich) should go with the Yellow, as that seems to be the most requested.
Like I stated, yellow or orange, I dont give a shit - as long as it all matches and colors look good together. The orange isnt that far off from the yellow anyhow - IMHO.
 
perhaps Ill mix up someting special and call it yellorange :D
Im leaning towards the yellow since the cabs were yellow
really makes no sense why there would be an orange version.
Maybe conversion art?
the orange I thnk would look better on a T&F blue cab myself
