That's awesome! Looks super clean! Joust is probably my favorite from the classics Williams era.

Wow, that makes mine look rough.  You even have the manual hanging in a convenient spot in a clean bag!  I've got some work to do...

Thanks for all the kind words.  The stencils are from Prok and I highly suggest you check out his website.  He has some cool stuff for sale! 

Jocko, I will post paint codes this weekend.  I am on the road since I posted this morning.

Hi Leon..  i'm updating my paints page on my gamestencils.com site to reflect your paint codes (and of course giving you credit for them).

I have closed my store on the site until January when I get back from my radiation treatments tho :(

These are the color codes I found a while back, was curious if you came up with different ones.  I've been tempted to pull off a chip of the brown and color match it just to be sure...

Valspar/Lowes

Base Coat Brown = 327-6 (Chocolate Chip)
"Pole" Cream = 230-4 (Fluorite)
"Neck and Logo" Orange = 203-5 (Sweet Goldilocks)
Red = 857-3 (Scarlet Fire)

Jocko, the problem I ran into was, the codes I had were for oil paint by a brand that was no longer available and when I crossed them over to a latex by a different brand, it simply did not work.  So what I had to do was give the guy at Lowes paint chips; peices of the cabinet.  My second problem was, I wanted to do it in oil but they only mix them in gallons.  So, what we came up with was a latex mix in quarts that is about as perfect as I could get.  You truly had to look hard to see where the new paint was blotted on the paint chip.  If I could do it again, I would definately do it in oil but gettin a gallon for a few needed ounces is quite a waste.

Here are the tops of the cans.
