Title: Ideal 55 Questions
Post by: shale on August 14, 2010, 01:34:58 pm
Does anyone know the paint codes for the Ideal 55 Pepsi colors? I just bought my first 55 slider and am considering repainting it to the original colors. :laugh: Also, I was wondering if anybody has any .pdf manuals that they can upload..I looked online but couldn't find any service or parts manuals

Thanks,

shale

Hello Shale

I wouldn't get to hung up on the original colour codes.

If you do a search on codes there was a post some years ago that listed them.

What I would do would be pick a colour as close to it as you can find but that can be readily bought off the shelf.
That way if you need to touch up in the future you can buy a touch up kit.

I have used Ford Galaxay Blue for my Jacobs double dot... Not sure if you have a Ford Galaay Blue in the US... But
you'll have something similar...
