Please post photos of original paint patterns and colors for 1930 standard coupes. As I would like to keep mine as original as I can. Thank you.

If you don't have the paint guide book, be sure to buy it. Bert's, Bratton's, and Snyder's all sell it.

I am in 100% agreement with Tom on this. Don't risk thousands of dollars on a paint job that might be based on someones mistake. Be sure the paint guide you get is the current one put out by the national clubs (MARC/MAFCA) and not the older cheaper one that may still be available at the vendors or on eBay. Any chance your local Model A club or a friend might have one to loan?

well, if you want to keep it original as possible and it is stranded, it should eventually look "rusty"
