Default Factory Paint Colors

Where can I find the Ford factory paint colors used to paint a 1928 Model A sport coupe?

The "Paint & Finish Guide" has actual paint color chips that will help you see what each color looks like. It's hard to go by just the names.

All of the Model A Parts vendors have this book.

Or get it from: https://mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=129

Also use the Judging Standards. The 28 is different from 29 as it has the reveals on the doors painted the stripe colour. I have a 28 Sport Coupe that I'm getting ready to paint so I know where your coming from. There are 5 colour combinations for 28. A Tan, 2 Blues and 2 Greens.
Now the fun begins. JP
