Who has an orange Nintendo cab?

[BraveDave]

Hi everyone. Been away for a while but now I’m back and raring to go!

Who has an orange Nintendo cab please? That wouldn’t mind me sending over a colour chart to get a proper colour match for paint/laminate.

I started building a Nintendo cab many years ago (Jakobud plans) but never finished. Now there are proper detailed CNC plans available I’m going to try and do it properly this time. I have pretty much every part to build it, an assortment of original parts, NOS, replica parts from Mikesarcade, monitor + power supply from donor cab....

But i need a colour match to get started, as I’d like to try and get pre laminated board in the right colour.

So who has an original orange Nintendo cab please? (In the UK) One that‘s never been repainted?

Thanks in advance!

I've got a project Mario Bros widebody, the rust oleum real orange spray paint is a 'close' enough match for me so that's what I've bought.

I haven't sprayed it yet though so it's still the original orange if you want to send a chart over.

Thanks for your speedy response Ace!

I’m building a narrow body version, would’ve been DK Jr cabs originally. I’m sure they’re probably very similar colours but could be different. Hopefully someone has a narrow body version as I want to be as faithful to an original as possible really.

BTW Ace, as you said you have a Mario Bros widebody, I’m pretty sure I have a widebody Mario Bros CPO if you need one. (Bought the wrong size, it’s a quality reproduction from Phoenix Arcade or Quarter Arcade or somewhere like that in the US).

Thanks for the offers but unfortunately I've already bought one.

Hi,
i have restored my DK jr. in orange and i used the color: RAL 2011 deep orange - imho it looks completely identical and i`m really picky in this case.

Hope it helps.

That’s great AlexK, thankyou! I’ll order a Ral colour chart and see if I can get laminate that matches it.BraveDave2019-12-09 18:51:02
