My only fear is that I'd never get it looking right again. I don't suppose there are any paint codes out there for Electrolux products? |

Dave, if you are concerned about getting the color right, & you don't mind spending a bit of money to do a full-blown refurbishment of your Silverado, there is a man named Jeff Rego in Bristol, Rhode Island, who runs a website called Vacuumman.com. He specializes in refurbishing & reselling Electrolux canister vacuums & uprights. I bought a Grand Marquise off him a while back, & found Mr Rego very pleasant to work with....the whole time, he sent pictures of the vacuum as it was being restored, & he made sure I got an excellent machine. In fact, you can hardly tell this vacuum was refurbished, it looks brand new! I would highly recommend that you contact him for a quote on how much it would cost to refurbish your Silverado properly, you will be very happy with the results. If perhaps though you wish to take on this project yourself, perhaps Jeff could sell you some of the paint he uses for refurbishing a Silverado, or direct you to where he gets his paint & supplies from so you could purchase them directly.
Good luck with your Silverado....Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO kirbylux77's LINK |
