Lakewood Red - Dumb question

Dwight Southerland · 10-23-2007, 03:03 PM

Is the current color of Lakewood bellhousings the same color as it was in the 70s? Does anybody know a match for the old Lakewood housings?

All the lakewood's I've had from 1970 to the present were the same color red.
Don't know what it's called though.

Dwight,
Take it to a "good"paint store & let them shoot it with the paint match computer... should be able to match it that way. I have matched some automotive colors that way.

I've always used "Fire Engine Red". Seems close enough.
