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.

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.

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.

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.

 “ 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.
