Gold Crown paint codes - all 4 colors

[Fatboy]

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.

Those both look amazing. Thx for the pics!

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.

I am of the opinion that the "white" gold crown tables had 2 shades, one for the legs and one for the apron. I created a thread on facebook and the consensus, they are the same color. I am still not convinced.

Here is a picture of an unmolested GC I have. Notice the difference in the white of the apron and of the ballbox. The complete table, I found online that seems to agree. Take it with a grain of salt but the brochure seems to show a difference as well.

In summary I believe there were 5 colors that make up gold crowns. 4 for aprons and a 5th was used on all models for legs and ballbox.

I plan color match this additional apron white.

The white for the underside is definitely a different color

When I sanded the aprons on my white GCI I was getting a green tint in the paint dust. And no the sandpaper was not green. I left sections on the inside of my aprons untouched so I could match in the future if I ever desired.

What's your opinion since you had a mint white one? were the aprons and and legs different shades of white?

The aprons were definitely a different shade of white, more of an off white and the legs and stringer were more white white. Then the plastic gulley blinds were even brighter white than both.

I stand corrected. Good stuff!

All GC1's had white pedestals requardless of the paint color of the rail blinds.

White turns out different when painting the plywood pedestals vs the maple rail blinds.

The centers of the stands are plywood and the rounded sides are Poplar, correct??? That was the best I could figure out when working on my table. I think portions of the ball box were Poplar too. I remember having a heck of a time getting stain to soak in to the aprons, I ended up using slightly rougher sand paper and wiping the blinds with a damp cloth before staining to get the stain to soak in.
