Any advice on a spray can color (yes, I'm afraid I have not graduated to a spray gun) for the main color here:

I looked in Home Depot (i like their satin finish Rustoleums):

and poppy red is close but I think its not quite "orange" enough

Anyone used a Rustoleum or Krylon they were happy with?

Thanks!

If thats a photo of your game, I'd say leave it alone. It's faded, but intact.

Nope. That's from IPDB. Mine has been hand painted

The Rust-oleum and Krylon paints are fine to use, but it's difficult to get an exact color match. You usually can find the original cabinet paint behind the legs where they bolt to the cabinet. The best test is to get a small piece of plywood and spray paint it flat white. Then spray the color you want over the flat white. This will give you a good idea of what the color will look like on the cabinet. If you're not a perfectionist, the Rust-oleum and Krylon paints are a good option for painting a pinball cabinet...

You could probably remove it with alcohol.

No joy with alcohol, or this

I think I will be heading down my usual route of CitriStrip, followed by orbital sander!

Thanks everyone for your input.

You might want to give Molotow Premium or Montana Gold paints a try!
