The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Heater color re re revisited

Well I thought I had this one figured out, but after searching the archives I am back to being confused. I thought a fresh air heater, dealer installed in a 52 3100 was hammertone brown. Now all the pictures I can find show it painted to match whatever color the interior is painted, or a hammertone silver/grey. can somebody tell me the correct color? Denny I know you are into details like this any idea? Thanks, and now it is off to my retirement party!!

I know the gmc's of that year were usually the hammertone brown/champane whatever, but all the original chevy's i've seen are the pulsar gray, or some hammertone of the like.

My 53 was hammertone brown.

Hi 1953 panel,
That is one in the what I thought column. As I posted earlier I thought up till 54 the fresh air heater was hammertone brown. Thank you for responding.

My 1954 recirculating and Air Flow (Fresh Air) Chevrolet heaters are a grayish color.

Chevs of the 40s has gray hammertone paint).

The color looks like these.

My 54/55 GMC Air Flow (deluxe) heater has the brown hammertone color.

I do not know about pre-54 colors.

The original color on my '54 was definitely brown hammer. I found a spray can at Walmart that is nearly a perfect match, Rust-oleum Hammered brown #210880. I looked at Ace Hardware, Lowes and Home Depot, Walmart had the best price. Jim Carter sells a heater paint but I haven't looked at it.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for answering. It seems everybody is all over the map on this one. Unless somebody has knows for sure I am leaning towards hammertone brown. It will a couple of weeks before I can get to painting the new heater, so all input is welcome. Thanks again, Jimmie.
