I’ve had a few requests for the paint color codes that I used to restore my Moon Patrol. These colors might not be exact, because I wasn’t able to bring the actual original colors in to the store to match. I guess they look pretty close, however. The paint I used was Behr paint from Home Depot. I haven’t had good luck with spraying Behr, and I’d recommend going with something from a paint store like Sherwin Williams. Here’s the codes from the top of the cans:

To do the color match, I took a picture of the cabinet before I sanded it down. I brought it into Photoshop, and tried to match the brightness to other pictures (maybe the flyer? I can’t remember). Here are the swatches I printed and brought in for the color matching:
