A Pantone formula guide is your friend. Find the correct match and bring it to the paint store, they can mix it from the swatch.

The guides are always available cheaper on eBay or some other second hand marketplace. Also, If you know any printers they usually have them laying around unused. To me it's indispensable as I occasionally do digital fixes of backglasses as well.
Agree with Steve. I repainted a Bikini last year and many many other machines. You will never get a perfect match and even if you do know one will know. It's a helluva big job to do it right. This is coming from a guy who tends to overthink everything. I used to worry about how deep the finger inserts in my bowling balls were, you can't get much worse than that.
Wow, where'd you get that?? Reduction of tension with age can cause problems at times. I usually do a visual inspection and make sure the screws are tightened down. The gapping on the bingo switches isn't generally as difficult as some of the flipper games, at least in my experience.
Well that's a lot to process, but at least I can tell you the R button switch you are looking for is at G-40.
Be careful if you're lifting the entire machine on there, including cab and head. The max load looks to be just shy of 300 pounds. That probably won't support your Bikini, although I'm not sure of the total weight on that one.
