1924 Patton’s Sun Proof Exterior
1924 – Exterior Colors
24 Historically Documented Colors
This 1924 Patton’s Sun Proof Paint brochure, manufactured by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, features 24 authentic historic exterior colors designed for long-lasting durability and color retention on residential exteriors.
Originally formulated as gloss finishes, these colors were intended to provide vibrant, weather-resistant protection for wood, siding, and trim, reflecting the early 1920s approach to exterior paint technology.
For modern application, the historic gloss colors are offered in semi-gloss or satin finishes, maintaining historical accuracy while allowing practical contemporary use.
Ideal for:
- Restoration of early 20th-century homes
- Recreating historically accurate exterior palettes
- Modern homes seeking period-appropriate exterior color schemes
Note: Original sheen levels are preserved as closely as possible. Historic gloss colors are supplied in modern semi-gloss or satin, as true oil-based gloss is no longer produced.
