I want to paint the side art on my upright Joust, so I'm looking for someone local with an original cabinet that I could look at to match up some paint samples.  I'm trying to get the colours as close to original as possible.  If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

I actually got some paint made at Lowes using those exact formulas.  They don't look quite right though.  Maybe the Canadian 'Valspar' is different than the U.S.?  The brown looks much too dark, the cream colour looks more like 'light yellow' and the orange looks more like Donkey Kong orange than the Joust yellowy-orange.  Maybe they're correct and the pictures of cabinets on the web look different on my monitor, but without a cabinet to reference, it's really hard to tell.

Sorry, that's the best I can do. I have a Joust but you're kinda far.

Thanks for the reply OTTOgd.  

Since there doesn't seem to be anyone local, if I were to mail someone a piece of paper with the paint I made using the Valspar formulas dabbed on it, would anyone be willing to compare it to their cab and tell me if it's a reasonable match?  I would really appreciate it.
