Re: victoria colors
Don't make the same mistake I did.
When I painted mine (the leatherback on a dolly in Brick's post) I "forgot" to paint the reveals at the windows, lower body color. "Head up and locked".

Re: victoria colors
A Man & his Wife bought a NEW Victoria & she was too CHEEP to pay $5.00 each, to paint the wheels on her side, in Apple Green!
A friend of mine now owns the car, it has BLACK wheels on the R/H side & YEP, you guessed it, Apple Green on the L/H side! That Vicky was restored by the late Ed Christopher ( ex MAFCA director and driver of the Minnehaha Fire Chief roadster) I have some original photos of it that Ed gave to me years ago, when I first got my Vicky. Your friend is welcome to them if he is interested.

Re: victoria colors
When were finishing the restoration of our Victoria 190A the color choice was Brewster Medium paint and we couldn't have been more pleased.

Re: victoria colors
Our Vicky is Copra and Chickle Drab as well. Interestingly, there is a 30 Victoria in Cheyenne with the same color combination, and if they are parked together, the colors match really well.

Re: victoria colors
An update; I have spent two days going to paint suppliers with my paint and finish guide and have been told by all of them the chips are too small scan with the PPG profit system or the Marten Senior dominater syster and the Standox system. The best I have gotten is on record Dupont codes, numbers such as ds115,ds 118 etc. that when compared to the chips in the paint and finish guide are close but not dead on. Whats a guy to do? Looking at Elpoint and Kewanee greens and Brewster green. I have Mitch's Ford maroon formula. I want to spray a sample of each of them using base coat clear coat.

Re: victoria colors
This was posted by Ron Ehrenhofer a while back, and I saved it in case I want to repaint my Coupe sometime in the future.

Re: victoria colors
PPG has two different colors "Brewster Green" and "Brewster Green Medium".
I think the "Brewster Green" is more like Kewanee (sp?) or Elkpoint Green ( whichever is the dark one). I used "Brewster Green Medium" which in low light, appears almost black. I believe the PPG # to be DCC 1017 (that's the number I can still read on the old label). I used their Concepts single stage, acrylic urethane. When I was trying to decide, I had PPG give me one pint of both of each their "Brewsters" and I used their samples as the first coat on the underside of the hood. To me the "Medium" was the one.

Re: victoria colors
This is old and I don't know if the codes are valid anymore with new types of paint,
Paint codes from Model A news 12 years ago

Re: victoria colors
Art,
As we spoke about on the phone I would go down and look at Dales Victoria.. It is the Elkpoint and Kewanee green - matches the color book and his is Sherwin williams 2nd dimension. You can use another system but I like the Sherwin Williams 2nd dimension. The paint can be bought down here from the local SW shop which isn't all that far from you.... Worth the trip to check it out if you're interested in that color. Larry Shepard |

Re: victoria colors
It gives the percentage of match ,,so when i had the ford maroon scanned it was a 100% match to the chip. At that point i was confident of going with that particular color
