Clinton engine Colour

[hillsider]

Can anyone tell me the correct shade or paint code of the Red paint used on Clinton engines.

I know that this is not much help but as old as this engine is, I suspect it is original paint. Maybe you can go from there.

No info at the Clinton Engine Museum other than the following:

Over the years Clinton colors for Standard engines were Dark Green, Red, White, Yellow and Gray. The colors for the 800 OEM accounts included many different shades of a standard color, I.E. 6 different shade of red, 4 shades of white, etc, etc. In all the years of production in Iowa an OEM account was never painted a wrong color.

Most likely by now the color codes have been lost.

Thanks for the replies folks I am sure that the image you have posted will be helpful. The engine that I am helping to restore is a model A2190-2111 and did not have much paint on it before it was cleaned and has even less now.
