The last time i ended up giving the Funtronics code to the painter he ended up going with the Coke Fleet red (Orange Looking new color). With the painter if you have the exact code you have no problems. If you give hime the paint code from another manufacturer it's a gamble. Thanks Tom.

I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that Coca Cola has never changed the red color.

My V39 manual lists the red as used as " Dulux 93-24314-R", hopefully your painter can cross reference  to an equivalent  color.

There has been a ton of different coke red's. If you have a piece of the machine that isn't faded like behind the coin door they can match it exactly from that. In the dupont color catalog there is like 20 Coke red's. The color has gotten lighter over the years. Like if you look at an older V39 or V83 they were a dark red, then the early square tops were like a fire engine red then the 80's model USS-64 I wouldn't even say it is red. It was more orange.

Yes there is alot of different shades of "coke red" My paint supplier has over 30 in their system. If you look at signs from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, to today you will notice a difference. Look at a 50s mahine to a machine from todays era big difference. The newer machines have a orange hue to them.

That was my point. The last time I left it to the painter he ended of with the new red which is more of an orange tone to it. I have the codes for PPG and Dupont. I was just hoping someone had been down this rode using Sikkens. I'll let you guys know what I finf out. Thanks for the responses!!!
