I really need a paint code fo my interior!


Recommended Posts

I've been busy working on my new cab for my RS700 and haven't been on here for a while. I painted my interior last night and I don't like the color. I tried to match it best I could but it just don't look right.

The color looked good in the can but not on the cab. Now my question is do any of you know what the

PPG paint code is for the Medium Beige for the late 70's early 80's R model interiors?? I really hope some one can help me because I'm pulling my hair out over this. It was going perfect till this p!$$#& me off. Guess it's my own fault. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Thanks, Josh :SMOKIE-LFT::clock_logo::blush:

Vinny,

The interior of a 1980 U Model will have three different shades of Beige:

Basic Interior - light beige - Mack number 510

Trim Panels - medium beige - Mack number 520

Seat Supports and Steering Wheel - dark beige - Mack number 530

They can be ordered through Kirker Chemical Co., P.O. Box 365, River Station, Patterson, NJ 07544. Phone 1-201-742-7769

Dale R. Guth, consultant, Mack Trucks Historical Museum

This is what the museum sent me. I needed interior paint codes for my U model too!!!

Vinny,

I do have those because my Dad just gave me his Mack paint chip chart this after noon[i didn't know he had this until this afternoon]. OK my brother just pointed out to me that I'm an idiot. The chart I have does have the paint codes I need. I guess there is a reason I keep him :notworthy: . Thanks again Vinny. By the way how long till the U model will be done?? Just so you know you are not the only one who likes the offset cabs. My brother is a DM800 nut.

Oh ok. Im guessing about a year or two until the U model is done, thats really not that long. Does your brother have any DM's? Vinny

No he doesn't yet but he's saving his pennies for one that he knows about that has a 375 V8 and a 12 speed in it. By the way the reason that U and DM models don't roll over is all that extra torque the put in them that Mack left out of the spec sheets just offsets the weight of the cab[thats my story and I'm sticking to it :loldude: ]
