Leg and siderail colour opinions?

[ronnie63]

Just wanted peoples opinions please. I'm currently restoring a Sega JP lost world and the next job is dropping of the legs, siderails,lock bar,coin door and backbox hinges at the powder coaters. I was thinking getting them done a green to match the decal or more coming round to red, or should I stick with the black? The decals have a bit of fade but not too bad, I would value your opinions please?

Picture plucked from google!

Cheers Ronnie

I'd go with red, I think

 

[carl lawrence]

Black for me but ... Maybe a Gray

 

[Paul R Owen]

Definitely green.

I like the idea of red but thought maybe too much at the fron with the door legs and lock bar?

 

[robotgreg]

Pale yellow?

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Cyan !

Always been my favourite colour since my Speccy / C64 days

 

[benjamin lawrence]

Definitely green.

Maybe more of a forest or darker green, anything too blinding and neon I don't think would work

 

[ronnie63]

Hmmm! bit of a mixed bag! forest green might work though? keep em coming guys

Can anyone photo shop the picture?

Thanks Ronnie

Pale yellow?

 

[Banzaipinabll]

I would leave it black, think it would a tad brash coloured

 

[Kenny Taylor]

Agree leave it black..

Do the powder coaters shot blast the legs too?

I really need to get the legs on my SS green and BOP purple

Few votes for black

They bead blast the parts after soaking in acid bath to remove old paint

Black. If you ever want to sell it. All these non original colours look gash with very few exceptions.

Do you provide the paint?

 

[ronnie63]

Do you provide the paint?

No they provide if they have it in stock

I have always stuck with black for that reason, I suppose it was just an idea

 

[Kenny Taylor]

I've maybe asked this before but how much do they charge for this?

 

[ronnie63]

it depends, probably 50 quid for that lot in black

 

[Tucks]

Black. If you really want a colour change then green, but a nice green and not AFMr type green.

 

[Chris P]

Go black, especially if you fancy moving it on.

 

[ronnie63]

Thanks guys the majority is black so will stick with textured black

Cheers Sven - so do this lift the back high enough to get the legs on ???

Cheers

No it lifts the back about 6-8" off the ground so you can easily grip it and lift it. It makes a huge difference.
