Paint codes needed for 1951 Bucyrus-Erie Hydrocrane

[Tom Berry]

Does anyone know what the correct paint codes for this machine would be? The volunteers are ready to start painting ours, and they want to get it right. We have two old color photos of what appear to be 1950s H3s; they show the upper works to be red and the boom cream, but the colors have shifted in one or both so that they no longer match.

Hey Tom if you find a place to get color codes for paint for the Bucyrus machines let me know. This 1936 10-B looks to have two colors of green the dumpster green code you sent me is just a little dark judging from the colors I have found on this machine. It seems there is no one around here that can match paint any more. The scanners they use in conjunction with the computer is way off.. I think there is two of those hydro cranes here in Bellevue if you want I can take a picture to send you they still have good paint on them.. Gib
