Not too helpful, but here's a thread about '32 colors. Still looking for one of '36's.

Remember that judging a color from a photo, these days, is pretty sketchy business. I know a lot of folks that won't use a photo right out of the camera without a little balancing. Also the camera and the settings on it make a huge difference. So what you see isn't always what it is.

2-3 years to decide about paint!? The 35-36 ford book has all the color swatches in it. I am leaning towards the Bambolino Blue for my 35 :eek:

Don....It took me about a year to decide what color(s) to paint my 36.It is important to use a color that YOU like.It's your car.As of yesterday there was two 36's on e-bay that I believe are Desert Sand.They look nice! I might get beat up a little here but I painted mine like the model A two tone scheme with contrasting stripes and wheels.Mechanically, I tried to keep it all stock except for colors and interior. Best of luck

It too was a long process to get the colors my wife and I like with a two tone paint scheme. I also thought of desert sand and cordoba tan. Desert sand was too light and cordoba tan had too much gray. We ultimately chose a tan and a butterscotch/burnt orange scheme that we liked. We now very much enjoy our choice of colors. Its your car and you can paint it what YOU like.

No comment! ken ct.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

My mistake.....The car on e-bay(search 1936 ford coupe)is Cordoba tan.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

i'd like to see your interior in that fine coop.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

I think Desert sand, Gunmetal, or Vineyard Green would look nice and a little bit different.

I took the codes from this site for 1936-38 Washington blue to my Dupont guy and he was able to come up with a formula for single stage enamel. I am going to have him mix a quart up next week.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

I think a dark color shows up what little chrome there is on a 35-36 better,omo. ken ct.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

Gosh - I'm odd man out - big time - I chose the original Black.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

Wow Love that vineyard green

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

Not so odd. Classic black is good. Hard to do right.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

My 36 in Vineyard Green and a 35 in Cordoba tan with red pinstripe.

Re: Paint color for 36-5 w
 

Would you post that formula here. A lot of interest in that color. Not urethane
but enamel? Thanks.

Torchie,
Good news re: Dupont. I originally painted the F-1 w/ Sikkens single stage (great paint). Went to order more of it a month ago and was told that single stage is no longer available. :( I'll look into Dupont.
