showandgo Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I am restoring a 1959 mack B61 tandem dump truck. It was originally red but then painted black. There isn't enough red paint on it to do a paint scan. Was there more than one shade of red back then? Does anyone know what the paint code is? I have the code for the interior from another posting on this website so all I need is the red code.

Lmackattack Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 not shure if "mack red" was used on B models but i know they used it on R models. PPG makes 'Mack Red" thats what I painted my B model frame with. If you cant find a PPG dealer to help you I can get the number off my paint can.Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2056-b61-red-paint-code/#findComment-9927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
