What is the correct way to apply the secondary color on a Victoria? Do you wrap the upper color around the back of the doors and the upper part of the door jamb or do you just spray the outside of the doors allowing a drift of secondary color into the jamb as in the paint and refinish guide? can somebody post some pictures of theirs?

Art,
Remember, "It's just a Ford".....don't get fancy inside the door jambs.
Just the out side of the body got the upper color, with over spray in the jambs. You'll want a cleaner job so you'll need to be creative using 2" tape and 'back tape ' the jambs. Use about 1 1/2" of tape to cover leaving 1/2" sitting above, outside the jamb. This will give you a soft, clean edge.

Thank you Jim, I do want it to be correct but a clean look. Next I gotta figure out how to get the body to you for stripes.Comment

Attached is the 1st photo used over the years as a guide, from the De Angeles, Henry book ,the FORD MODEL A. They are not for a vicky but give the concept and attention to detail used . Production may have varied however for other years/ models, such as the 4 dr. sedans B pillar color break.Comment

In 2019, I am planning on painting my 31 4D TS. There is a whole lot that I need to accomplish first. I am going to strip the entire body, prime the entire body, and then final paint.
My question today, when it comes to priming and painting, do I paint with the doors on, or should remove the doors and paint the doors separately?

Upon using the vendors' "tool" to remove hinge pins, we placed blue tape on the top surface to help protect the paint and some on the tool. The removed tape brought up some chips of paint with it., unfortunately some on the top/ vertical faces. The chips didn't appear to be too well adhered to the primer, possibly too much paint build up there. However,we were able to delicately peel away...08-01-2017, 10:53 PM -

Posted this on "the other site" thought I may get some different opinions here. Anyone have good things to say about this or? Also is it necessary to use a sword brush to paint a strip when using this product or will any artists type of brush work?02-14-2018, 10:37 AM -
This is about my newest Mod A, the 29 blind back. The car was restored about 30 or so years ago and the paint's stood up well. However, the paint is a lacquer. The problem is that the hood was replaced with a Non Briggs hood without the body lines. I found a hood with the body lines and am now trying to match the color (Rock Moss Green I think) Anyway it's a forest green with a lot of blue in it....12-17-2020, 05:01 PM -
I have been able to paint my A with the primary color, Maroon. Now I need to mask a lot in order to apply the black color.
Would anyone be able give me tips, help, advise on how to apply this masking. Especially, how is the tape applied to go around corners such as the windows?
Any advise would be much appreciated.

My vehicle doors do not close like they should, I have to slam the doors shut. It is a 1930 Model A Coupe and I haven't touch the doors yet. I was wondering if it could just be the latches or do you think the doors need to be realined. Then the next question would be, do I have a body shop fix the problem or is it something me and my mechanic could tackle. Thanks Hugh12-24-2018, 11:20 PM -
I need to touch up a few very small flaws in my front fenders. These are not the colorsanding break thru's I recently posted here on VFF. These are about the size of a straight pin's head. The fender are painted with PPG Concept 9300 black. I have the same 9300 black paint I am going to use to touch up the fenders. My question is: Will the paint I use to touch up the very small flaws work OK...09-29-2019, 06:55 PM -
I'm in the process of painting my A Black and Maroon. When the doors are painted on the outside does the color scheme wrap around to the door jamb? Or is the jamb painted one color07-19-2018, 04:25 PM -
