Re: ford maroon
Have you used the search feature to find "maroon paint code"?
I just did it and found 10 threads with nice pictures and information. |

Re: ford maroon
Have you thought about the 1930 commercial color "rubelite red". It's a dark red, but not as dark as the maroon.

Re: ford maroon
Mine is 1978 Ford Dark Red code 2 M. If you check 1978 Ford colors you'll find it.

Re: ford maroon
Try .www.tcpglobal.com. They mix to match original color chips. You will most likely discover that the original color is much to dark for your liking. None of the samples shown are dark enough to be even close to the original. Gar Williams

Re: ford maroon
Here's a 2010 Hershey pic of an original unrestored low mileage(15k miles) 31 roadster that I saw on dsiplay but not for sale. Original maroon paint and everything else except for the top etc. Picture quality is not the best- some wrong camera settings -hope it's good enough and loads correctly.

Re: ford maroon
Camera settings, lighting, and each individuals computer monitor is going to give different "picture" of the same image. JMO Remember the "apple green" wheel thread??

Re: ford maroon
Here, this might give you a number to cross reference. Save it to your computer and then view it with window's photo viewer or the like. You can zoom in to read it then.

Re: ford maroon
I will suggest you go to your PPG dealer and ask for Model A Ford Maroon. They have it in their computer for your car. We have been working with the color library in Strongsville Ohio to get all these colors availble to all the dealers. You can get it in Concept Urethane (better more expensive) or Omni (Cheaper) urethane enamel. If we all go to the PPG dealers we will hopefully have abetter chance of getting all the same shades. Using Mustand colors will never give us the correct shades,
If they cannot get the number have them call the Color library in Strongs ville Ohio. please let me know if you have any problems, Ken |
