In my mind’s eye I’ve always known what color I wanted to paint it. I just never knew it was “Cummins Beige” until I stumbled across this picture in tndonor’s “Jungle Rot” thread

This is a sample from a can I bought through Cummins. It tends to look a little lighter than what this pic shows. The camera in my phone did not do a good job of capturing the real color. Next to the painted surface is a piece of wood veneer I’m thinking of using as a backdrop for the gauges.
Here’s some info I tracked down if anyone is interested in using Cummins Beige, Black, or Red
Paint, Cummins beige, aerosol, 12 oz (340 g) can Cummins part number 3824515 normally available at any Cummins parts outlet or most authorized Cummins repair shops.
Titanium Black, Cummins number 3824514[/font]
Cummins brand APEX RED part #3163075. It is a "certified Cummins color" so it says on the can.
Here’s some other info I found for aftermarket paint. I believe these are the mix codes. Not sure.
Name # Cummins Beige
Product # DE 1638
HTML # C3AD7E
CMYK # 25, 29, 57, 1
RGB # 195, 173, 126
I did find one other color called "Cummins Beige" with a different number, but it was noticably darker.
