Something I noticed today was a different paint guide. This is not the same book as 3rd edition Model A Ford Paint and Finish Guide. The one I'm looking at in a catalog is "Antique Ford Repaint Manual". There is a PPG logo in the bottom left hand corner. It has 59 color chips used during 28-36. I noticed this is in CW Moss catalog, so I'm going to look at it if they're open tomorrow and see if it's worth buying. Anybody have one of these and can comment on it?

Been around for a long time. chips aren't accurate. Don't remember much about what else is in it. I'd stick with the newest version of the mafca paint guide.

I have that book, and have had it for probably 30 or 40 years. The colors are off, because from the time of the model A until the book was printed, the colors were offset several times to utilize the current colors of the cars of the time. The chicle drab and copra drab are way off, sorta green, and I used that paint to paint my father;s town sedan in 1962. It is not even close to what we use today, which is suppose to be more accurate.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Are the chips in the book that Dennis posted made from actual paint, like the official paint / refinish 3rd is?3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Mitch, No they are not. Printed on paper pages. PASS! They had a copy and we looked at it. Not what I want. I'll order from Bratton's as I want to get some other things along with a 3rd edition.Comment

"Ford Model A restoration manual A-1"
Is anybody familiar with this small book? There is no author on it nor a publication date. The content appears to be photo copies of old Ford documents.
I was given this yesterday and this is the first time I have seen it....01-03-2020, 02:00 PM -
I received the newly released 2020 version of the MAFCA paint color book a couple days ago and here is my review.
BLUF: Overall it is a good book with many color references including the newly found color Commercial Gray.
The book says the paint samples were referenced from Ford Dealer display books so hopefully they will someday post some photos of these online for a reference...11-18-2020, 08:49 AM -
Now and then when I paint with PPG Concept paint, I make a little to much. As many of you know, this paint is big $$$. I am wondering if the mixed paint with catalyst can be refrigerated and used later, like maybe a day or two later. I don't want to try this and have a mess if it doesn't work. If anyone has done this, please post your experience.
Thanks

Where can you get a paint chip chart for the 1928-1930 Model A Roadster....05-04-2021, 06:06 PM -
As the title says, I am defiant over the exorbitantly high cost of auto paint! I'm considering using Rustoleum (or any other good quality paint) for all my projects from now on. High build primers (PPG) running at $148 and $154 (with hardener), I've had it! I recall buying DuPont Centari for $15 a qt. So I'm on a search for a somewhat High (?) quality, long lasting paint at a price I can live with....02-26-2020, 02:45 PM -

While draining old gas from my car some got on the paint and ruined a small area. I believe the color is Bronson yellow. Can anyone tell me where I might buy some of this color or a close equivalent? Thanks in advance.08-19-2021, 09:24 AM
