What color to paint-piping,etc
Posted by ajkwings on Wednesday, May 8, 2002 8:24 PM
I have the Walther's oil unloading platform and the piping kit. What are the prototype colors these should be painted? Are there specific colors for the piping?

This would depend on the facility. I used to drive tractor-trailers hauling oil and chemicals. I have seen piping painted silver,aluminum,white & red with the usual streaks of grime from spills and in some places the paint was worn away revealing the primer coat. You may want to see if you can dig up some photos of various facilities and see if they can give you some ideas. Hope this helps a little. Bob
