1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
I have the paint guide but find the color samples are too small to visualize on an entire car. I have also looked at Marco's color samples. With paint prices being what they are I want to make a good decision on what color to use.
What I am looking for is good quality photos of 1930 pickup trucks taken in good light of any judging standard approved color other than the Rock Moss Green. Thanks for any help ! Last edited by Mikeinnj; 10-09-2014 at 09:59 AM. Reason: spelling |

Re: 1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
It's impossible to tell what color my PU is in pictures. Some will say it's black, others swear that it has a green hue or maybe even a blue of some sort. The real color is Stone Grey. And the fact that the paint is 20+ years old and sat out in the southern California sun most of that time doesn't help either.

This is my 1930 pickup. It is Rubelite Red, painted five years ago.

I had one (now sold, alas) painted Kewanee Green. Looked good.

Re: 1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
Sorry you were disappointed in the response to your request for CLOSED CAB trucks painted colors OTHER THAN (Henry's favorite) Rock Moss Green. That wording limited the field -- dramatically. Loosen up your parameters and you might get some feedback.
Here are a couple interesting OPEN examples that were at Sharon, WI this summer. |

OK Bruce, thanks for the tip. I am looking for good color photos of 30-31 CCPU's and would like the poster to describe the color.

Re: 1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
If whatever color you choose doesn't come across quite as you visualized it, you'll learn to love it! It's sorta' like when you paint a room, or produce an UGLY baby! Chief sed I wuz an UGLY BABY, but, hey, LOOK AT ME NOW!!

Re: 1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
I cant help you with any pictures. I dont think I'd trust what I saw on a computer, with who-knows-what for lighting either.
For the investment in time and money you are looking at, I believe you ought to invest a few more dollars and attend a show and look at the trucks yourself, find the owner, and get the scoop on the color he used. Just my 2 cents...and its worth exactly what you paid for it. Good Luck! |

Re: 1930 Pick-uo Paint Colors
Thanks all. The 29 page commercial vehicle thread should be made into a web site unto it's own. Thanks all !
