Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion STILL LOOKING FOR WHITE ROSE PAINT CODES

I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE IN THIS LARGE FORUM HAVE NEVER USED WHITE ROSE (RED AND CREAM) COLORS BEFORE. STILL LOOKING FOR THE CODES. THANK, BRAD

The best thing to do is Buy the globe and decals and/or sign,and take them to your local paint/auto body supply store to match the paint. That way your pump colors match everything else.. B..

Thats the same thing that Dick Bennet said. I'm looking for original colors codes. The colors they put on globes and decals are not close enough to the original for me to paint my pump with. Thanks, Brad

Do you have a real sign or globe ?
Have paint matched to them, then have a sign maker do the decals to match.

No, I wished I did but my pockets arn't that deep. Brad

Search ebay for a qt or 5qt in the colors ya want.
Even with PPG #'s, paint matching is never the same as when the companies sent out the paint for the stations to use. I think Jim Potts will confirm that he doesn't paint PART of a fender, he paints the WHOLE fender. So even with the correct #'s, paint is never a perfect match.

When I was painting pumps, I found a DuPont Paint store that had an old catalog (the thing they used before computers to look up paint codes). Shell had at least 10 different shades of Red, who is to say which one was original? This was the same with all the companies.
