paint Colors
Hello. I am a bit new to the Model A and especially the paint colors. I have attached a picture of my 1930 Tudor. As you can see it is two tone. I believe the body is color is "Chicle" and the upper is Cupra Drab. This what "I think". Can anyone confirm these colors and advise either the Dupont or PPG paint codes?
I think my car has a fairly common paint scheme and these are FORD colors. Please help. I need some touch up paint. Thanks Bill |

Re: paint Colors
Chickle and Copra Drab looks about right to me. My fav colour combo!

Re: paint Colors
It may be my monitor but it looks like it may be Kewanee Green and Elkpoint Green...

You need to have a paint shop scan your car and match to it. Then spray a small test panel and compare it yourself to the car in outdoor light. If the paint's not quite a match, they can tweak the mix to match better. It may never be a perfect match.

Re: paint Colors
Thanks for your confirmation. Will also try to get it matched for touch up paint.
