Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion I need Paint ideas for Wayne 866

I am currently working on a Wayne 866. I am totaly up in the air on how to paint it. I like Texaco, I already have a Bennett 766 done in Fire Chief and plan to do the 866 just plain Texaco Star. In the pics here the blue pump is mine and I have no idea who the other one belongs to but I really like the Paint. I was thinking though instead of the silver going with white on mine. Your thoughts or ideas and maybe a pic or two could sway my ideas completely. Love it and hate it all at once.

Thanks
Phil

Sorry,
My pump pic didn't download you'll have to click on it just above the other pump pic

I just got a pair of Texaco Marine with matching plates. PM me with your email and I will send. I like texaco but always want to go a little different.

How about a cream color instead of white? You could also do a black pinstripe between the red and cream colors. Bet that would look good on that classy pump.

By the way, let me know if you want to sell the Atlantic/white flash glass and plate.

All red with silver face bezel and around sight glass area with a black base.

Thanks for the ideas. I have a little way to go before I really have to make my mind up, still cleanning and sanding. Just trying to get ahead a bit and decide on the paint

I've always liked the one that Richard did in Red and Black. Be creative, there aren't any "gas pump cops" that will give you a ticket if it's not a certain color.
Click on this link, then check the 2nd to last pump towards the bottom of the page.

This is an old thread with a lot of pics. Wish they still did pump of the month.
