Hello to all. I am starting a restoration project on an old garage that sold associated oil products and I need some information on the paint colors. I have an old photo of the building which has a pre visible glass gas pump. I will try to post a picture soon. This building was built in 1910. I have started to pressure wash the concrete and it appears the background color was a tan or cream. The advertising signs appear to be bright red background and apple green trim with white lettering. The painted words on the building are Sales, Service,& STAR, which we assume is for STAR cars which this garage also sold. On each corner is painted vertically the words (ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS). Near the top of the center of the building is Q service station. On the right side of the building is painted radios, welding, batteries and accessories. Believe it or not, some of the old original paint is visible as we are powerwashing. We intend to use BEHR paint and will try to match the paint on the building if it is confirmed this is the proper colors. Any information regarding this project would be appreciated. Thank you.
