steve s. Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I bought Kirker "Mack Red" acrylic and synthetic enamels from the local Mack dealer and it seemed like the right color for my 1966 B model. Of course I can't honestly say it is the same as the original red, but who could? I will look tomorrow to see if there is a number on the can, but I do know it said Mack Red.

mattb73lt Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 This is the paint code for Mack "Fleet Red", it crosses to American LaFrance Red. I got this from Matt Pfahl and it's what he uses. It's PPG Concept, which is no longer available I'm told. The paint code is still good and would cross to other manufacturers.

kscarbel2 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 There's no such thing as fleet red. The name was "Mack standard red", and the Mack part number for the gallon can was 312SX15P2 (P2 means gallon size). Our supplier was Kirker Chemical of Patterson, New Jersey. I don't recall their part number.

mattb73lt Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Really, it's on the label and I've seen it referred to elsewhere. It's an option and a very close match of the original shade, with a modern and usable paint code. It's his dime and choice of what he wants to use. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74349-1964-mack-red-paint/#findComment-555399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 “ Fleet “ Red is what Hennis Freight used, Like Matt’s picture, Basically American Lafrance Red . That’s what I painted my 1965 Hennis C Model with,, any DuPont store can mix it either in Nason or Imron ,, depending on how much you want to spend. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74349-1964-mack-red-paint/#findComment-555407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Mack 400 red crosses over to Axalta 77968 (they can also mix Nason to this number). PPG code is 70094. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74349-1964-mack-red-paint/#findComment-555412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
