Charles B60 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am working on a 1955 B 60 and want to paint it Mack Green. I have an old color chip book from Acme Quality Paints that show a #1584 (I'm sure that is their code number) Mack Green for the year 1955. They also show 1430 (again what I assume is Acme's number) Green No. 804 used from 1950 to 1956. It appears my truck was originally the one called Mack Green. I am brand new to this and have been unable to cross reference the numbers nor has my auto finishing supplier been able to come up with a formula. Can anybody help with a paint number for a modern single stage enamel?

Can anybody help with a paint number for a modern single stage enamel?Acme was bought up several years ago by the Sherwin-Williams paint Co. I think they still market the product line although it will be changed from original."Mack Green" through the years has comprised of four distinctly different hues of color I'm aware of. Most times it was a variance of both the yellow, and the blue intermix colors.Of course I'm rather young to this only being around it since 1973 but they started to get a little lighter in later years. The early 1950's hues were darker in the face.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Maddog13407 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 ppg/ditzler code for Mack green is 40496 last i checked. has been that since the 70's or 80's. it may end up with one more letter or number on the end depending on what brand paint you cross reference it to, Matt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22250-1955-b-60-paint-codes/#findComment-95066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
