Some flat black would fix that right up

Doomer's color pick for everything!

New Pig owner asking what color they should paint their Pig:

Doomer - Black. Lots and lots of black...

Pablo - Panther Pink

J Mack - Nebula Green

Resurrecting this thread. @wngrog, still happy with semi-gloss white rustoleum for the Olympus white match or have you found another? Anyone with other options? I'm planning on leaving the original paint on the exterior, but would like to clean up the interior on Chuck. Also, since it's a paint thread, any easy matches for the Royal Blue? Thanks

I did some touch up painting with Cruiser Corp's Cygnus White. It's $20 a can but seems to be pretty good paint and relatively large cans.

We like relatively large cans in here.
As for the $20, sometimes you gots to pay to play...

Grease,

Here is a link to a previous thread re: the white change out date. Back then, I had mad skills (access to the BASF puters....call it the HAL 9000). It was 1978 when they switched the white from 012 to 031. Need paint codes for 55 blue and white - https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/135472-need-paint-codes-55-blue-white.html

I no longer have the mad skills (ability) to tap into the BASF HAL 9000....something I should try to regain I suppose.

Looks like this reference chart is incorrect and @toddslater is correct on the switch from 012 to 031. My '77 pig (October '76) has a 265 color code which is 309 and 012 (Freeborn red and Cygnus white). Chart shows 265 ending in 1975. Yes I'm bored in case anyone was asking. :rolleyes:
