Pulling my hair out trying to get correct Ms Pac Blue
Been working on the old gal for awhile and am finally at the painting stage.
I've seen a boatload of threads about color codes for the blue and how certain paints are no longer available and the codes are in Home Depot's and Lowe's systems, etc.
Went to Lowes and they had two rhapsody blues in their system - one seemed very light and one seemed pretty dark.
Tried Home Depot. They have Rhapsody, Rhapsody Blue and Rhapsody in Blue. Bought the one that I thought was closest, judging from the pics of other guys restores.
Looks like it's way too light. Here is a pic.
Left is the color I bought, right is the back door. You can even see the original overspray through the coin door hole which matches the back door.
If I take the back door and do a color match, how do I know the color hasn't faded and is not correct?
Does any of the artwork - marquee, CPO, or monitor bezel match the color so I can do a color match?
Or even better - can anyone who has recently gotten some paint post the code.
Thanks very much.
