Hello,is there a website that has color photos of restored Ford V8 in factory colors? I have books and chip charts ,but they don’t give a good representation of actual appearance when on car .Thank you.Gary

Re: 1933 34 colors
If you have good chipcharts and books, its a good start. It's mix of paint store working with you. Best if you have a part they can scan. Pictures off the web are not accurate, in my opinion.
I have a great ppg referance/Ditzler chip chart. That are you looking for??? Last edited by Tinker; 10-13-2019 at 02:02 AM. |

Re: 1933 34 colors
This is a correct statement. One cannot trust photos on a computer screen to accurately represent the actual color. There are too many variables; camera calibration, monitor calibration, photo editing software "tweaks", etc.
Find a paint chip color you like, have a paint vendor match it, and then spray out some larger panels.

Hello thanks for the replies,yes I have the color Chips and also the 33 to 34 V8 book from the club. I know the color chip doesn’t give a good idea of how it looks on a car .

You can't do better than autocolorlibrary.com for accurate, original references and the paint itself.

Re: 1933 34 colors
Hello again the color chips are really a poor representation of how they will look on a car ,as I mentioned I used auto color library for a 49 Buick picking the original sunmist gray thinking that it would be a battleship gray but I was surprised how good it looks on car.
