You must have a Model A Repair and Paint Manual as I do . A copy of an original IMHO . Where did you surce the paint ? MCW would Custom Mix all Model A - V8 from original formulas . She's a beauty . "Where's the keys , I can drive this ?" Thanx
Thank you, Guys! I built this one quite some time ago. The original Ford color I was going for is called Rose Beige. I bought a Ditzler color chart and looked for something close. I ended up spraying a Floquil Railroad color, 130081 Earth, which is flat. I sprayed a gloss clear over that. The trim is Testors 1133 Light Brown gloss, strait from the bottle. These days I use my airbrush. I like to custom mix the colors. Typically I'll take a printed photograph and put some dabs of paint on until I have the color I want. They change a little as they dry, so it takes a few tries. With Model A's, some of the colors are so dark that I don't really want an exact match to the color chip. Better to the eye if you're matching what it looks like on the car in bright sunlight.
