skip Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Gday everyone. Ive finally got my old Flinstone into the painters. Im wondering if anyone has the code or number for the original mack red. It is a 1967 model with a black chassis. Bonnet, guards and cab are red. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Mike Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can't swear to it Mike, but I would think so.. Yes sir I would also. I'm thinking it would be close to Farmall Red to. Would anyone agree to that?......I like Indian Red,Guards Red or better known as Porsche Red. It is the redist of reds....ya don't see orange in it. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12830-r600-paint-codes/#findComment-50512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Farmall or International Red is a lot darker than Mack Red. i painted my B model International red just because i wanted a deeper red with no orange in it. ~Matt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12830-r600-paint-codes/#findComment-50517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt a Brambles truck, it came from Tassie. It originally belonged to Mt Foster Timber Co. There were 3 or 4 of them down there. I used the paint code that came back to me on this post and it looks really good. All Ive gotta do now is get it ready for Alice Springs in August. Are you coming across to it?
