Paint recommendation needed for Mills blue castle front

Postby damikeguy » Tue Jul 01, 2014 8:54 am

I am looking for a paint color recommendation for a Mills blue castle front. It is hard just looking at pictures on the Computer. Some look to be a gloss and some satin?I would like to get it back to its original colors.
I will be using a rattle can. It's the dark blue that I am having difficulty deciding on. There was enough light blue on the machine to match. I have the mechanism, jackpot and escalator finished. The castings are prepped and almost ready for paint. I think I have watched all of Dave's DVD,s about a half a dozen times. I would not have been able to take this on without them! =D> There is just so many little things I would of screwed up on the reassembly of the mechanism. All three components were full of goo and or rusted up. They work smooth and look good now. This is my first machine in about 30 years. I have been into EM and wood rail pinball machines for sometime. I will be selling them soon. It's all slot machines for me now :D Any help with paint recommendations would be appreciated.

I am not an expert, but I have heard that Testors has suitable paint and comes in small spray cans.
