Art & Inspiration I'm going out on a limb here. Anybody have any kool brown paint jobs.

Yeah I know it's a stretch but I'm hoping you guys could post up some pictures of Rods or Kustoms in a Brown shade. Whatever happened to Root Beer Brown? Was it just too ugly it left the scene? Maybe even a brownish copper shade.

Let's see what you've got!

 

Kim Vranas' old car. Pic courtesy of... you guessed it R&C.

 

Thats nice. Looks a little more red than this color I have stuck in my head. Thanks for the offering though.

 

This is pretty close to root beer brown.

 

I love that car.

 

Yeah thats close to what I'm thinking but I'm paiting a Cadi too. That one was done by Marco Garcia of Lucky 7 Kustoms in Antioch. Super nice car.

 

It's what you paint a car you want to keep forever. "Stay around Brown"-----
can be hard to resale

I'm not talking about the Caddy which is beautiful

 

valdez' chevy and buttera's T

 

I dig brown. Fabian Valdez chevy is at the top of my list. Bitchen car!

 

No pics of it on my computer, but the rpu that Pinkee's built a few years ago had a killer metallic brown.

 

I am also interested in seeing a nice metallic root beer color with the manufacturers name and the exact paint code. I want to do my car this color also, but a photo without the info does me no good. Thanks in advance.

 

Check out the OT Honda car color Root Beer, flops from deep brown to a sparkling golden brown. I can get the code if you like it.

 

The right brown can look nice...warm, earthy, easy on the eyes.

Somebody here built a '28/'29 AV8 fenderless roadster, painted a very dark brown. About the color of a Dove Bar. Looks so good. If I can find a pic, I'll post it.

 

Dude!!! I totally forgot about Fabians ride. That is nice. Thank you thank you thank you.

new mini coopers are available in a brown color called 'hot coco' or something similar. it doesnt look very flatering online but it look preety rad in person if you happen to have a dealer near you or a paint shop with a sample. its a kinda copper metalic brown.

i know a mini cooper isnt anything near a vintage car but its worth a look to get your gears turning.

 

The Ruby Deluxe 36 3w makes my heart beat fast ...I suck at linking pics,but you know the car I'm talking about...

 

Resqd,try to find someone with a mid 70's Chevrolet color chip book. Vegas had a very ,very deep dark brown with gold metallic. I did a 37 Chev cp. in that color,man did it look good,in the sun light,the fine gold in the paint made it really sparkel and at night it looked black,it was the only brown I could find that I liked. I just can't remember the color name. I guess that has something to do with getting old.

Here's the one I was thinkin' of. Whose hot rod is this, guys? I like it...the color too.

 

My truck is a real dark shade of brown. At night it looks black. I really love the look of the Doyle Gammel coupe, I always thought it was black but its actually Cordoba brown.
​

 

VW had a "Texas Brown". Very nice color.

 

here's one at back to the 50's

 

Funny you should post this. I was thinking rootbeer brown and ivory or creme for my 40 coupe build, but finding something that looked nice has been a challenge. I think these colors go well together.

 

Brian - that's hardly fair. That car would look killer no matter what color! Haha...

 

Best ever....

 

I remember that Sedanette from a few years back. That was one of the cars that inspired me to by mine. Thanks for all the info fella's. That 5 window that Zombie posted up is freakin Beautiful!

I'm with you SlmLrd. That Brown and Ivory should work well together.

 

a couple of famous brown cars

 

My OT driver, color is on topic

78 Ford stock color

 

House of Kolor Cinnamon Brown and Root Bear Brown are looking pretty good.

 

Damn! That I like!

Check out Burnished Brown from the '69 Chevrolet paint chips. It's gorgeous in B/C. A local guy used it on his '33 Willys.
