Please use with a bit of restraint... best bet is to always have the color matched from a direct sample from your cabinet. Use an area unaffected by sunlight, like inside the backglass channel in the backbox, or behind the coindoor trim or where the legs bolt onto the cabs.

Keep in mind, the factories didn't put all that much attention on getting a perfect color. They used what was available. and if you repaint a cab, it will look radically different than before you painted it.

Case in point: most Flash Gordons today are now pink. I repainted a cab for a guy and he gave me crap for making his cabinet red, as he thought it was always pink. CPR also deals with this with their plastics... look up a discussion on Seawitch plastics being too blue while playfields are green... age deteriorates paint.


Retiring soon...

Just to make sure, here is what maroon should look like   --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon_%28color%29

Rich maroon isn't as attractive

Keep in mind that it depends on your video card and the number of colors you can display. Furthermore, the light in your house will play a critical role in the color you see.  Soft white etc. Neon, CFL etc. Unless we are all looking at the color in the same conditions we won't see the same thing.

Just ask something in black to a textile expert and they will ask you what kind of black! I don't know about you but I only have one kind of black but again I am not in the fashion world!!! what do I know........
