hicrop10 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have been told the original is Kirker paint #812 or 812A,Omni(PPG) Acrylic Enamel #MAE 45735,PPG 40496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 40496 is the PPG or old Ditzler code for old Mack exterior dark green NOT the interior green. the interior green is anyones guess. your best bet is take the backside of glovebox to a paint place and have them zap it with the gun and mix a color. the color varied throughout the years. the older B models were more metallic and the newer ones were a straight color. it probably came in a 55 gallon drum and if it settled in the drum, thats the color you got.

Milaca Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Might the correct color paint be available directly from Mack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

220cummins Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I took a sample to the local paint store and had a custom colored mixed. It was right on to the original sample and on the part of heater box that was partly tucked under the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint code was posted as what Watts Mack uses...Jim you can look at my post from July 17 and see what it looks like... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I cannot help you on the Mack interior green, BUT The Brockway interior green is an almost exact match for the Detroit Alpine Green and that is what most of the restorers that I know use.Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d427 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks everyone. I am a professional painter so I will go the PPG/OMNI route. All of the trucks in background are from OLDMACKS.COM That is who I bought truck from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 lucky you haha.... just kiddin, Dennis has some gems but tends to buy them from people down on their luck or their old lady leaves or wants the truck to leave and they need the cash then he wants 8 times as much for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d427 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I had to haggle a little but the final price was right at everything else I found in that shape so pretty happy with it. Runs strong and smooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
