29 Tudor paint scheme confusion

[Brian in Wheeling]

I have the paint quite, but have seen 28-29 tudors painted in different manners in terms of lower body and reveal colors ( see below). My car is a mid year 29.
I would like to do it "right". So, I guess I'm a bit confused. So, what is correct for my car? Thanks for your help.

I hate spell-check...that should be MAFCA Paint guide standards.

Brian, what paint color scheme are you leaning towards? Let us know that and we can show you what it is supposed to be.

1928-29 TUDOR - stripes on belt and mouldings:
Upper stripe begins at the coupe pillar and runs
on the top edge of the belt to the rear corner of the rear side
window, then up the vertical moulding to a point
just below the drip moulding, then down the rear
edge of the moulding to the belt and follows the
upper edge of the belt around the body. With this
pattern, the stripes on the front and rear edges of the
vertical moulding taper together at the top forming
a point. On many Tudors, the two vertical stripes
were parallel at the top of the moulding with or
without a small straight section of striping capping
the ends. The lower stripe follows the lower edge
of the belt completely around the body.


Restoration guideline book is your friend.

Actually i like them both, but probably lean just a bit toward having the reveal color ( rock moss green) on the molding and reveals only - and lower body color (vagabond green) on the upper back. Will be striped in Straw color to match wheels.

So, either one way would be correct? I'm not into fine point, just want it to look correct for it's time. It will be nice being back to metal...ask me if i like sanding!

O.K. I guess it just comes down to what one likes, again not fine point, so since it is a mid-year car either one is alright. Thanks.

I have some invoices from a dealer in NY, and the paint listed on the sale slip is from an earlier time. It lists a 1928 color on a 1929 Tudor. The dealer wrote in the paint color, so either the paint was used longer than listed, or the dealer make a mistake on what he called the color.
