Hello all !!! i am real close to putting various engine parts back on Clyde. What started as a tune up 2 months ago, has now grown. I think i have the bug also. But in reading the Judging Standards book it makes referance to 2 paimt codes B- Black and R-Raven, now on doing some research on the internet i think R-Raven would be gloss black?????, so what is B-Black????? satin????

About 12-14 years ago, and can not remember which version of the RG’s I used, but I went through the Standards and noted, I think, about 45 or so different “sayings” about the color BLACK.
I had no idea Ford used that many versions of BLACK during the Model A era.
In other words in certain spots the Standards say for instance that a part was painted “BLACK”. Well...09-19-2021, 09:49 PM -
In Section 1 (Engine Compartment) and Section 4 (Undercarriage) of the Standards, the paint schemes per part are spelled out.
Now we go to Area 7 (Brake System) and very little is told about the individual brake parts being a specific "black" color.
Can you please tell me what parts are:
1. Satin Black
2. Semi-gloss Black
3. Gloss Black
I just can not...04-11-2019, 12:07 AM -
The engine is out of my 29 Tudor being rebuilt by the folks out in Skokie, Il. While everything is off the engine-I figured now would be the time to paint the black stuff. Would Rustoleum gloss black be close? I'm not really going for a high point show car, but since everything is off and relatively easy to paint-I would like to get it close. Obviously, Rustoleum paint is readily available. ...08-12-2017, 07:46 AM -
There are a few items on the A that were protected by the process called Japan Black or Japanning. The Guidelines say the parts were dull but from what I have read and seen about the process, the results were far from dull.
So here are the questions, has anyone used the process? How glossy did it come out? Did you have it judged and what was the point result?
Here is a formula...02-17-2019, 03:21 PM -
What black paint sheen should the spring clamps be? (I am referring to the c-shaped clamp that clips into and around the middle leaf of each pack)
What black paint sheen should the spring hanger (shackle) be?
what black paint sheen should the hanger bars be?
I am wondering why these items are not listed on sheet 4-22 in the judging standards. Are these components...03-21-2019, 10:56 PM -
Looking for real life experience painting carbs with semi-gloss black.
Snyder's sells a Seymore Hi-Tech Lacquer for this purpose, but the data sheet says it is not resistant to gas.
Search on this interweb thingie, suggests I need an epoxy or urethane.02-29-2020, 07:22 AM -
What is closest to correct for BLACK fenders? I can't find a reference anywhere.05-06-2019, 11:25 AM -

The judging standards state that the torque tube could have an "irregular finish". The one I am working on looks like rust pits under paint. Is it wishful thinking that this is the irregular finish described? It would take a lot of high build primer to make a smooth surface.11-01-2020, 08:58 PM -
So im getting a set of floor boards done - dovetailed wood plank style, all holes cut for AA with dual high pedals, holes drilled for support straps - went to old ace hardware for #12x3/4 screws with slotted head, but unsure of what to use to stain or paint them. I tested on the upper board near the pedals with black minwax polystain. Soaked in nicely to the end grain and will preserve it forever...09-03-2018, 10:42 PM
