Correct Stanley Colours
By Pat Farrell
Through the years, Stanley steamers had very few colour choices for their cars. The following are some of
the modern paint formulas and modern paint codes presently used by today's restorers. Most all Stanleys
had black fenders (mud guards). Entries below in quotations are taken directly from the Stanley season
catalogs. Colour formulas are those that have been used successfully by restorers. Additional correct
Stanley colour's, paint formulas and corrections are requested. Could you please help us in our search
for the correct colour's and modern paint formulas?
