Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Sinclair colors on Bennett 76

I am ready to paint my Bennett 76 and want to go back Sinclair since I have the original HC ad glasses. The colors that where on it were the Dino green with a red or orange. Did Sinclair HC use those colors? I have only seen the greens and whites.

Thanks Greg

Hey Greg..I bought a farm fresh Bennett 76 from oldgasser T-Bone some years ago that was Sinclair HC. The pump was painted ALL green...even the trim..LOL. Just letting you know how my original was..different jobbers might have had different configurations ..but thats how mine was. Have fun with your pump.

It should be dark Sinclair green not the light Dino green. Maybe someone has the paint code??

Mine was dark green top & sides, black base and white doors. The RD-119 decal was mounted above the H-C decal when I got it, though it should have been below the H-C decal, which was centered on the door.



The sign, on the door, is not the normal 12" decal that should be there. It's just a sign that was hung by a piece of wire only for the photo.

Here is my barn fresh 76 with original Sinclair paint, it only has the one coat so I'm guessing it is original, complete with the ad glass, great looking color scheme, hope this helps.
