It has a small scratch in the red area. Thanks in advance for any leads.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

Phil, have you tried contacting Dolby? Or you could even detach the front panel and take it to Loew's or Home Despot's paint depts. and they can color match it. You would probably have to buy a quart minimum, but you could re-bottle it and sell it to the masses.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-11-2010 01:03 PM                     They probably do make nail polish in that color! But for a perfrct match just take your Dolby CP-650 to a local auto paint place. They can measure the color with a photometer and custom mix paint for you in a spray can. Oh, and you better check the power supply capacitors while you're at it or just throw in a new power supply so it doesn't give you any trouble...

Oh, and that goes for you too, Tony. Thanks Mark for your suggestion as I've not heard back from Dolby. Perhaps I need to go thru a dealer(?)...  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-12-2010 09:16 PM                     Now Phil that wasn't nice as I had given you a valid tip as well. I know you meant it with love.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-27-2010 02:45 PM                  BUMP... OK Tony, I'll cut YOU some slack! No "love", just biz! HA!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 05-27-2010 06:34 PM                        Auto parts store will do custom matching. BUT the nail polish is not a bad idea. Lots of similar colors! Louis  |  IP: Logged
