Looking for the original colors for a Texaco brand Wayne 615. I have seen some restored with a white body and red accents. I feel the original pump would have been either all red or a red body with green accents. If anyone knows I would appreciate an answer.

Check the book entitled Gas Pump Restoration. It shows the correct color schemes for most pumps and gas/oil companies. Dave

I'll check in the am and let you know. I am not saying that this book is the definitive source for this information, but it is the only one that I have ever seen. Dave
I checked...all red for regular grade. Silver for ethyl.
