Congo
Williams, 1995I've changed my mind about 5 times already, but I am down to 2 oranges that I like. I was originally just going to go with a straight solid orange, but decided I wanted a more metallic look. These are both metallic powder coats. Pick one. I'll let you know which pin its for later.
Top one for TRON!
Quoted from BackFlipper:Top one for TRON!
I'm afraid I missed that boat 3 years ago. 
Quoted from Phetishboy:I'll let you know which pin its for later.
Don't we need to know this in order to make an educated color choice?

I still like the top one.

Maybe, but I just wanna know which orange looks better before I give away the pin its for. Otherwise I may get a bunch of "oh, it's for that title? I woulda used a nice green or red or blue or chrome, etc, etc, etc." You can amend your choice after I give you the title if you wish.
Check out "Orange Soda" too. I ordered swatches from prismatic when I did my IJ and that one looked good.

Yep, saw that one too. I actually chose Candle Orange at first, but realized that I wanted/needed it to have a metallic finish.
And the machine I am outfitting is my Congo. My original idea was to have everything tiger striped by shooting orange powder over black (using heat tape to mask for the stripes), but was told that it would be too time consuming to cut out all that heat tape. I am doing all the playfield parts in a Candy Lime Green Translucent, so I wanted to use the other dominant color in this pin for the armor. I am also using a metallic black for some of the outer accent parts, so I'll kinda get that tiger look - if in color only.
Quoted from gweempose:For Congo I think the duller orange may be a better choice.
Yeah, I thought so at first, then changed my mind, then changed it back, then changed it again. I didn't think it would be this hard. (yeah, yeah, "that's what she said", I get it).

Quoted from ThePostmaster:I like the top one better, I like brighter colors.
(maybe for a Flinstones? )
Swing and a miss for me.

It's OK Bill, it WAS a good guess. I am actually going with a light blue (like Fred's Necktie) on that one.

That will look sweet!
Quoted from ThePostmaster:That will look sweet!
Yeah, I really think it will too.
Orange is not a jungle color. Cab has black and greens. Orange will clash. I'd get a green close to the cabinet art color. Either that or the top one.
Oh, it's for that title? I woulda used a nice green or red or blue or chrome, etc, etc, etc.
Orange could look cool I suppose, little too much for me on Congo though
