Taxi
Williams, 1988I'm planning to start my first playfield restoration with this Taxi I found last month.
The upper playfield really needs touchups.
But I'm having a hard time finding the colors that match in the Americana color chart (I was suggested this brand).
For example, for the taxi cabs, I'm hesitating between Marigold (DA194) and Mustard Seed (DA264).
And for the background, the closest I found seems to be Baby Blue (DA042).
Do you guys have any tip for me with this process??
Glad to help
I have a few playfields under my belt.
I'm doing a taxi right now just put clear coat on yesterday.
I do color mixing and blending. Takes practice
they all can be figured out.
I have a recipe for the road if that would help. ( 1 prt olive by american craft and 1 prt
white ivory. you my need to add a little more ivory.) No gloss
It took about 25 different mixes and colors to get the road.
The others a little less.
The orange is apricot.
Also I have a new fullset of cabinet decals and two spiral ramps.
If needed.
