What was the original color? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | I believe the correct color name is Crimson Red. Duplicolor 1607 is close for a rattle can job, but a little too orange. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | Thanks. For me it's probably close enough. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I used Ace Hardware Safety Red and no one knows the difference. | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | We do now............he he he! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | I know what everyone says the color is suppose to be, but the GMC service bulletin T-24-006 says it's Pimpernel Scarlet. I have seen Frd red and other paints used. In the end, it looks like Red will do. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | i used 1607 on the engine on the ashton. its been on now for five years and looks as good as the night i put it on. the wheels on my 40 i used 1607 also. the paint chip for the 40 is pimpernel scarlet. they are pretty close to one another | | |
