Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
On my 31 cabriolet the lighter color is on the bottom, darker on top. It depends on the body style. The answers are in the Model A Paint and Finish Guide. If you are going to paint a car it is a must to have. It is more than just color chips. It has charts to show you which parts of the car get what color, how to put on the pin stripe and written descriptions on what is buffed out and what is left as painted. Ed

Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
When it comes to Kewanee Green, it's the wheels that seems to differ alot. My Apple Green are lighter than these.

Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
As far as the upper and lower body color goes, as to which is lighter, and which is darker, it seems to me that the earlier Judging Standards (late 70's?) stated that after a certain date in early 1930, the color scheme was reversed, and the light/dark colors were flip-flopped for this color combination. I'm not sure the Judging Standards indicate this any longer. Both the '30 Tudor I have, and the '30 Town Sedan that my father owned, were both early '30 cars, and were restored at within a a couple of years of each other.

Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
Here is my version. Used the color chips in the paint manual to get as close as I could working with the folks at the local English Color store. And then, at the end of the day, I went with what I thought was the best looking since I'm the one living with it every day. Still needs the straw striping to complete the job. And whether to go with the white walls!

Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
I'm looking for Sherwin Williams paint codes for Elkpoint Green and Kewanee Green? I would appreciate it very much. DuPont codes were DS127 and DS118.

Brent is correct.....goose-step to the JS in all matters if you are showing a car. Otherwise, please yourself (my suggestion!!) |

Re: Elkpointe & Kawanee Green Paint
Hi guys: I'm the new guy on the block, so hope I am doing this right in my effort to get paint codes for Elk Point and Kawanee green paint. Plan to use PPG but am open to suggestions as far as paint brands.
