Title: USS-8-64K Red & White Paint Code Help needed for Exact color or Best Match Post by: USS64K on January 20, 2010, 01:00:47 pm Hey all,
I can only afford to paint the front door of my USS-8-64K model built in 1975. Does anyone know the EXACT paint codes in Dupont for this machine. I know that there are many different colors of Coke Red. The big deal is to try to get as close as possible to the original red on the sides of the machine. I will only be removing the door and taking it to a painter to paint so he won't have the opportunity to see and match the color to the sides. It was an indoor machine so fading would have been minimized. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out on this. Josh? Others??? I've attached a photo as reference. It may be a poor photo but you 'll get the picture. No pun intended. Thanks, Mark aka USS64K Title: Re: USS-8-64K Red & White Paint Code Help needed for Exact color Post by: mznb1u on January 20, 2010, 01:25:03 pm You're not going to spare the woodgrain!!! That machine looks beautiful the way it is! I have attached a picture of mine.
I have not painted a machine yet but I know there are a lot of different reds that have been used over the years. :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: USS-8-64K Red & White Paint Code Help needed for Exact color Post by: MoonDawg on January 20, 2010, 01:44:36 pm Because of the white separation the color of red you choose will not be noticable even if it is off a little.

Now, just to find the right Red paint primarily but knowing the white also would be nice. :hopefull: Title: Re: USS-8-64K Red & White Paint Code Help needed for Exact color Post by: USS64K on January 20, 2010, 01:49:44 pm Moondawg. Excellent observation. Hadn't considered that. Good point. Puts my mind a bit more at ease.

But my whole machine is red... I dunno how the machine would look with the white stripe in the middle.. I like the way yours is now..

Do you think that all the paint on our coke machine is original or parts or whole painted at some later point in time? Mark Title: Re: USS-8-64K Red & White Paint Code Help needed for Exact color or Best Match Post by: bubba on January 21, 2010, 06:29:23 am I'm sure its original. I have a Vendo 63 that is the same paint scheme as your Cav.. My Cav is from the early 80's.. Yours is a 70's machine. I've got another Cav with a black front that is an 80's machine as well.
