I am ready to send the chassis to sand blast and powder coat and need to know what color is correct for a restoration?
If you want the original color from the factory..., Every electric Tokheim I’ve ever owned (which is a lot) has had the internals (frame and components) painted a rusty/red-orange primer. There may have also been a few silver/grey ones, but the majority are always primer red.
With that being said, get whatever color you like that looks cool. I usually powder the frame and base black (silver looks good too). The base color also looks good when it matches the color of the pump, depending on what brand you are going with.
