Default Re: Arabian sand

Here is a picture of my 28 special coupe that I painted Arabian Sand Dark. As 700rpm stated above, computer monitors and cameras can alter the colors in pictures. I would recommend two things, first get a copy of the Model A Ford Paint & Refinishing Guide that has all the model A paint chip colors in it and second, if you think you like the Arabian Sand (Light or Dark) colors, have your paint supplier make you the smallest amount they can of the color(s) you are considering. I have been unhappily surprised twice with mistakes in PPG Concept paint color formulas - Copra Drab and Bonnie Gray. Both were way off the Refinishing Guide chip colors. I used DuPont ChromaPriemer and they were right on. I learned the hard and expensive way to purchase a little paint first before buying a quart or worse yet a gallon of paint. You can test spray a decent size pattern on some metal so you can see what a larger size looks like and you can mix the small can with the bigger can of paint you purchase later if you decide to use that color. Auto paint is expensive, so every little bit helps.
