What are the Coca Cola paint codes for their machines?  

Were they standard throughout the industry?  

Did Vendo, VMC, Mills, Jacobs, and Cavalier all use the same paint codes or did every manufactuers paint vary in shades?

I'm looking to paint my Mills this summer if all goes well with getting it working first.

Basically, my question is what shade of red and white did Mills use??  I'm not interested in their green.

I saw this on the web at colamachines.com.  Has anyone ever used these colors?

Larry,

I used Dupont Centari Acrylic enamel #60807-A to paint my Cavalier 55D and I really like how it turned out.

In the paint code book there are over 20 different paint codes for Coca Cola red. for example the red was dark on the 50's machines and then lighter on the 60's machines and then almost orange on most late 70's machines. Because of this I say just pick a shade of red that you like the best and go with it. I tend to usually go with a darker red myself.
