Just curious if anyone has a powder coat color code (DuPont, Cardinal, etc) for the inside of a Vendo 81 that they prefer? I have seen some pics of a silver/gray color and others are more of a silver metallic.

I do not have the actual color code for Cardinal, RAL, DuPont or who ever the powder is manufactured by, but I do know it is commonly referred to as "Sparkle Silver".  The key is to have your powder-coater clear coat the Sparkle Silver then it will look outstanding!

I usually work with my local powder coat business with color cards that are in stock to make a decision on colors that I'll use on a machine!

Hello, I own and operate A powder coating company. We have done a few tubs/liners over the years, mine included. We have used different colors as to satisfy customer needs. Here are some.

Cardinal GR05-silver hammertone ( This is the most durable and hides the most flaws)
"           GR06- silver metallic (smooth metallic low gloss- requires a clear coat)
"           GR539- Chrome ( my least favorite and shows the most flaws, requires a clear coat)

Tiger Drylac  Sparkle Silver 49/90450 (clear coat required)
"                 RAL 9007 49/92880 Darker silver/grey(clear coat required)
"                 RAL 9006 49/92890 "white aluminum" light silver metallic
"                 Bengal Silver 49/99999 (falls in between 9006 and 9007 as far as tone, but more metallic.

These are just few of the thousands of silver out there, but should the most common.

Awesome! Thank you so much! I was looking at all the silver colors out there and was scratching my head trying to narrow it down.
