Kube, Do you consider TCP's formula for Folkstone Gray correct? Want to use it on my '40 Sedan Delivery. Thanks, Don

You'll need to take my opinion with a grain of saltas matching the old colors is difficult at best. Also, using old formulas and equating them to new paints (chemicals)as TCP and other companies have done is very troublesome by nature. That being said, I think their Folkstone is too tan. Disassembling cars and finding painted areas that have not been exposed to the elements has brought me to that opinion.

Don, it's hard to say if their colors are any closer to being correct than any other manufacturer. You can take Folkstone Gray from three different manufacturers and paint three cars and they will all be different shades, but still be Folkstone Gray. I even suspect there could have been differences in the colors from assembly plant to assembly plant depending on who supplied the paint.I suspect that TCP Global will be as close as you can get without an original sample of the color to compare. If you are going to have the car judged you will be fine with their color. BTW, nice article in the V8 Times on the pickup. This message was edited by trjford8 on 11-3-13 @ 6:39 AM

Don, not sure but that may have been Gene Riggs. Gene was a long time 40 Ford guy from the Modesto area and later lived up in Napa with the rest of us V-8ers.
