Gold Crown paint codes - all 4 colors

xianmacx · Feb 27, 2019

Here are all 4 paint codes from SW for the original gold crown colors. gold, white, blue and tangerine. These were color matched from high quality samples off original tables or wall racks. The blue, gold and white are what I would consider perfect matches. They are undetectable even when painting over the original.

After 2 different SW stores, they could not get the tangerine 100% match. It is very good, but it would be slightly noticeable it you painted on top of an original.

Yes 3rd can is the white.

Thanks, I have a GC1 and next time I replace the cloth I’m going to do some rehab.
The 40 years that table spent at Willowbrook Bowl were tough years. But it plays great.
I love my Gold Crown.

Thank you, xianmacx!

My next recloth, I'm going to do some restoration work to my CG1. It's blue right now, but I'm thinking about changing to the tangerine.

Doing some research on that color, and I found a CG1 on eBay right now that is tangerine. It appears your color match from SW is one shade darker, from what I've seen in person and online. It's tough to tell from pictures, and everyone's monitor/screen is different; but, I'd like your opinion.

As you mention...camera, lights, monitor, picture angle, glare all impact a comparison from 2 pictures. In the ebay link the table looks different color than the wall rack. I would put very little value in a picture.

If you look at my side by side on the tangerine, its a cut out of an original wall rack, so its true representation. Sherwin williams matched the color as close as possible. If you used it as touch up paint on an original it would be slightly noticeable IMO. If you painted a table with the paint sample and sat it side by side with an original, I feel they would be undetectable.

SW mentioned deep oranges are some of the toughest to match.

Look at the dried blue on the can, it looks very dark. Thats the actual can of blue paint I used to paint the 4 color stripes.

Stain Colors for Gold Crowns?

Nice work.

Does anyone here know the codes for the wood stains?

Thanks for doing the legwork on these!! Just used the white on my table legs and it looks amazing. Still deciding on a skirt color but these will help immensely when the time comes.

What base was used for your mix? Was it Duration?

I went with Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel based on its durability.

Does anyone know a color match or code for the classic white color. Just curious too if anyone has seen the legs in classic white instead of the regular white. I have two legs, under the stretcher mount area, that are the gray/classic white color. But rest of legs were repainted with house paint white.

The white posted above is a match to what Brunswick used on the GCI's. There were not multiple shades of white.

What would be cool is to set up a room with one of each of the GC1’s in mint condition. Thinking about it’s whole room full of tables. A proper table collection is a cool idea.

My buddy (@pocket) and I bought a couple of Gold Crown I's out of a local bowling alley and restored them at the same time. I painted mine Blue, he went with Tangerine.
