I need some help, I'm wanting to paint my 28 a gray/green color with black frame and fenders. I've seen a few A's on the HAMB that color but I can't seem to find them. Anybody got any pictures and color codes? Thanks, 28
Look for '40 Ford pics; "Cloud Mist Grey" was a factory color offered in '40 I believe, and it can best be described as 'grey/green.' the following thread on '40 Coupe pics may have some examples. If not, I think 'olscrounger' here on the HAMB uses his as his avatar. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=320256
Here's one from my reference file. Don't have a paint code, but agree that Cloud Mist Grey in one of it's variants will come close.
Saw this one at a local "Cars and Coffee" show a while back: Ford Model A Deluxe Coupe by Mike Rogers 303, on Flickr
Here's another one, a truck this time with a bit more blue in the color: 1934 Ford Model A Pickup Hot Rod - Front by Mike Rogers 303, on Flickr
Here's my 40 coupe--cloud mist grey--color taken from under orig deckid where paint was not faded.--Also other 40's in this color (have done 4 in this color over the years) in my album--have seen several variants taken from hidden places on orig cars. 50 suburban on here is also interested in this color-sending him my only sample soon-but getting some more paint mixed next month just in case I have a problem.
I was gonna say I started a thread a couple weeks back about greenish bluish greyish cars. My sedan is most likely going to be cloud mist grey, I really like Olscrounger's car!
I looked at this thread and many others when I was trying to decide, ended up with Ford Nile Blue Green. Bill
someone posted a link to the VW site with colors by year (lots of vintage VW had similar colors). http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/paintcodestype1.php 2duece, that is a great looking color on your RPU
Actual "Dearborn Award" winner cloud mist gray ... The judges in Dearborn are anal about their accuracy.
