bmodelsrus Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 it should be mack power engine grey which your local mack dealer should have in spray cans .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treemuncher Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I used Rustoleum Proffesional series paint when I repainted my E9. After a good coat of primer, I used a light machine grey color which was close, but not exactly original, for the color of the block. A lighter color will let your oil leaks show more readily in order to trace down the problems.See my gallery to the left in my signature. There are some pictures of my E9 and my color coding when I had it out this past Fall. Remember to paint it pretty - that will make it go faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 does anyone have the colors Mack used on engines starting with the Lanova diesel up to the E7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 45LMSWM Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Was grey always the color for E9s. My company has a 1980 DM821 with a factory E9-400 that was painted a "salmon-red" when we bought it. We repained it several years ago the same color...bought the paint right from the Mack dealer.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a change in the shade of grey sometime after it was introduced. When I was looking for it a guy at Mack in Brisbane said that the colour was a Dulux colour called 'Avil Grey'and later changed to just 'Anvil' and you could buy it at any hardware store as small as 500ml, I bought 1ltr. I'd like to know the code for a thermodyne 6 in the late 60's early 70's, b4 they went to silver for a thermodyne it was an aqua blue colour. Any ideas would be a help. Regards Jeffro P.S. I think when they went to 500 hp they went grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
