F.Janssen Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi all, Does someone have the (correct) colour for the Weasel engine? Is there any RAL number, or other number, which is closest? regards Frank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The rear end in my T24 has a decent amount of original paint on it. It is a grey blue, but much lighter than some of the restorations I have seen. I am trying to track down the paint codes. PBT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi Frank I'm using devoe bar rust 235 epoxy paint. It is the closest gray for weasel I have found. I have taken some pictures of the color and the paint # Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Di Giovanni Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) For the t-24 through M-29-C I like to use Rust-Oleum light machine Gray. This matched up to the original gray i found Items that where gray as follows. Drive line, fuel tank. Black symbolized a replacement part. But i believe that the exhaust was black, also top and bottom of carb and the distributor. Oil canister, canister bracket regulator bracket Everything else should be gray. Note i have found what appears to be original gray paint on the manifold. For the T-15. It appears a slightly darker color was used.

M29 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 T15 air filter was black as well as radiator and shroud as well as starter and generator. Some new old stock parts I have acquired were black or olive drab. Several restorers of the T15 are using olive drab as the engine color? From the manual it looks like the engine was gray.

F.Janssen Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Hi James and Dan, From what I found on my Weasel there are a few slight differences. Manifold - Black (with grey overspray) Distributor - Black Distributor Support - Grey Oil Filter - Black (with grey overspray on the lid) Oil Filter Bracket - Black (with grey overspray) Regulator Bracket - Black Starter - Black Generator - Black (with grey overspray) Generator Bracket - grey Oil Filler Tube - Black (with grey overspray) I assume that the engines were assembled with all the items having their original colour and that the engine got a final grey paint which over sprayed the black.

Byron Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi Dan (M29) does your devoe bar rust 235 epoxy paint have a RAL number or a BS number on the tin? I like your grey! cheers Byron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Byron I don't have that code but can probably get it. I'll see what I can do Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prc148 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Is there a newer equivalent for Rustoleum light machine gray rattle can? I can only find a gallon and it’s 45 minutes away? All retailers are out of stock. I found one on-line retailer but they charge a haz-mat fee on top of shipping. May have to buy a few newer gray cans to see what’s close.

I found it at Lowes today. Mark Edited November 14, 2021 by Lighthorse 31 Add to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with the new color since “Light Machine Gray” is out of stock everywhere. Edited November 17, 2021 by Prc148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
