wheel color
Hello everyone. I am about to have the wheels on my 31 A powder coated.
The car is a two tone green. I think its called copra and another variant of green. The wheels are an off yellow color someone told me was called wheat? I am not sure if they may be faded from age or uv rays and such. The powder guy is not familiar with model A colors. I dont want an extremely bright yellow color. This is not a concourse restoration. Just a simple refresh of an original A. I do see the same color combination on a coupe with black wheels for sale on the Hamb site. It looks ok, but I am tending towards the yellow. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

Re: wheel color
Mickey, My '30 Town Sedan is Elkpointe and Kewanee Green with Straw wheels. I think it is also know as Tacoma Cream? I believe my green(s) is darker than your Copra tho if that is what you have.

Re: wheel color
The 2 tone green is most likely Elkpoint and Kewanee green. Wheels would be black or Tacoma crčame

Re: wheel color
You just can't beat black, 'cause it will look like it came from the factory.

Re: wheel color
I believe Straw or Tacoma Cream would have been an optional wheel color. Straw is a just little more toward yellow than Tacoma Cream.
My opinion, Chris W. |

The booklet I have also shows Apple Green, which is way to bright for my liking. |

Re: wheel color
I think straw looks the most appropriate with the Copra/Chicle combination

Re: wheel color
I believe that straw color is RAL1002 powder coat.

Re: wheel color
I know very little concerning powder coating. The coating service I am
working with did ask me if I knew a specific color? The code you have posted may well be just what he is looking for. Thank you, that is most helpful. |

Contact ModelAWheelColors.Com and tell them you are wanting the Cream color powder coat for x amount of wheels. I did mine about a year ago and they turned out awesome. The lady that answers the phone knows exactly what you are looking for and how much you need. |
