Paint Samples from Original Paint

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well I have finally gotten around to making my paint samples from original Allis Chalmers paint and figured I would post a couple photos here to see what everyone thinks. They are supposed to be a sample of each of the three oranges Allis used but I'm thinking one is definitely not right.

Left: Corporate           Middle: PO #2                   Right: PO #1

Natural Sunlight does better justice for all the colors but both the Corporate and PO#2 samples are pretty much an exact match to the eye in the sunlight. Here in the photos the PO#2 looks a little redder but I think it's the camera angle and fluorescent lights.

My guess is that I have 2 corporate orange samples. I am thinking that at sometime in its life, or maybe just before I bought it, the Persian Orange can(PO#2)(middle)  had corporate paint put in it. As far as I could tell the corporate can was first opened by myself.

Any thoughts? Besides the PO#2 sample, how close do they look?

	your PO1 looks good.... not sure if you have two PO2 or two Corporate... but one of them is wrong.
	Like them all, but love the "B"s.
