Vintage Hoover Paint Codes and Color?

[chicagomike]

Hi, can anyone please help me with paint codes or tell me the colors used on the 26, 27, 28, 29, 61, 62, 63, 305 bases and handles?

I got the hoods restored and want to work on the rest of the machines but need to learn more about what the original colors were on the machines as many of them have been painted numerous times and I would like to put them back to their original color

Thank in advance of your reply

So does this mean you won't be powder coating them black, putting on red trim and adding fancy little winky lights??????
