Hoover Model 28 Colors

[bvac6]

For those of you that have restored a 28, what shade of brown did you use to repaint it? Did you go for exact color match or match up some Rustoleum? I'm going to repaint the base of mine and am looking for some guidance. Thanks!

Per an earlier discussion

I haven’t. But I did find this posting on this forum with a discussion about The Model 60 paint color. It’s
Post# 259350.

My 725 looks to have been refurbished about the time the Model 60 came out. It has a bag dating to that time and it’s housing has been refinished in a sand brown color that might match. I’ll attach pics of my bag and the repainted housing.

I’m sure there are wiser and more experienced heads here who can help.

Good luck!
