Topic: 1936 Ford Paint/finish colors

  I'm restoring a rust and dent free 36 Ford 4-dr deluxe. . Working with PPG dealer to get the formulas in DDC single stage and base coat/clearcoat. This is catalyzed acrylic urethane paint. Car is Aug 1936 car with Original paint, Cordoba Tan exterior, Russet Brown/straight grained walnut dash. I have the interior dome light and ign switch assy, both dark brown. I've already cleaned up and primed dash and window garnish moldings, so I don't have those finishes for a pattern . I'm following 1935-36 Ford Book Early Ford V-8 Club. Questions: 1) Can you help with PPG formulas for ext paint? 2) I understand that the steering wheel, column, dome light and ign switch housing are russet brown--I have the originals for this color. Please confirm these are correct finishes. )3. Any help on doing straight grain walnut finish? Thanks.

  I cannot help with formulas, but would advise that you seriously reconsider your choice of Basecoat/Clearcoat if you wish to have your car point judged at an EFV8C Concourse, as it will cause point deductions.
