eddeere Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Painted the inside of cab and parts today. Used OMNI 45735 and Ma-Hyde Wet Look Hardener. This is supposed to the correct color but looked as if it had to much metallic in it. I wonder if the original paint was a metallic at all. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45107-painter-the-cab-interior/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think it's real close. You are seeing it in the sun with out the shadows and interior parts to break up the "look" . Only thing I do see is the high gloss, that pops out the light metallic more then the OEM semi gloss. I like the high gloss.

Maddog13407 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 keep in mind the original paint was probably in 55 gallon drums and maybe not mixed continually. I have some very original B's with no metallic and some with metallic. the earlier ones were more metallic. some end of production ones had no metallic in them. one thing different is the modern paint. remember the original was shot in straight enamel and had little shine 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45107-painter-the-cab-interior/#findComment-332559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryS Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Ed, Looks good. I have a left over can of interior paint from Mack which has the metallic. It is very fine and as Paul points out barely noticeable unless the light hits it. I like the gloss.

The first two pics are the B81 and second two are the B61: 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45107-painter-the-cab-interior/#findComment-332665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Looks clean. Nice job! I'm not ready to tell anything about a B-model interior color but painting insides of the doors (so far) of my R-model I also notices original gray metallik color was semi-gloss or semy-matt. I made it gloss and liked the result. Restored truck may shine, it should please an eye of beholder. And you always get a shiny paint dull just by time passed when it covers with dust, finger prings and so on. So keep the project going this way and we promise to like it Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45107-painter-the-cab-interior/#findComment-332773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
