Body Colors
I'm in need of some help. I'm restoring a 1930 deluxe coupe and I can't decide on what color to have it painted. I did run across this picture and I like the way it looks. Can anyone tell me what colors are in the picture? I know its a base coat clear coat system.
Thanks, Zack Last edited by Zack; 07-05-2018 at 06:06 PM. |

Re: Body Colors
That is not an original color, I can tell you that much. No one here could give you the exact color, maybe someone can give you a color that is close. If you like red, try Ford Maroon Medium.

MAFCA has the "Paint & Finish Guide" with chips and listings of years, models and colors.

Re: Body Colors
Zack, according to the Paint & Finish Guide, the 1930 Deluxe Coupe (45-B Dlx) chart shows:
Lower Body & Reveals Upper Body Belt & Sill Mouldings Pinstripe Kewanee Green Elkpoint Green Apple Green Copra Drab Chicle Drab Straw Chicle Drab Copra Drab Straw Black Black Vermillion Black Black Apple Green Brewster Green Black Apple Green Ford Maroon Black Vermillion All wheels Black. If you intend to enter Fine Points competition these are probably your choices. My thinking is that if you are looking to build a driver, paint it any color that pleases you. My '31 roadster is Washington Blue with Riviera Blue belt and Tacoma Cream striping. The striping is stock plus and the 16" wheels are of an unknown spray can yellow. I'm not the builder, just the caretaker. There are other non-stock parts as well, but I am a Happy Camper! Russ |

Re: Body Colors
That's an interesting wheel treatment. Never seen it before. Must have been tedious to do.
