    I'm starting to finish up my 60 Falcon 2dr Wagon and its getting about time to pick a paint color.The HAMB is a place with Awesome Talent and the Rides are as Awesome as they are Beautiful but what would look good on a Wagon.I was thinking Jade Green and a white top but I have changed my mind a million times so I'm asking for some ideas.I don't want to copy someone else's work but I'm hunting for a color that everybody at the shows don't have and I would like it to stand out and not stick out if you know what I mean.I would appreciate any help and a pic of the color would be nice Thank You Veach

    If it will do 1/4 at 180 Black, 160 Red, 140 Blue, 120 Yellow, 100 Green, 80 White...? It looks heavy dripping blood red metal flake to me with a couple of rich laquer white stripes on the hood. Good Luck .....maybe a giant thumbprint on the hood (whole hood one big print)?

    Chaz She is Beautiful absolutely Beautiful what a pretty color maybe Jade Green might be the color after all Thanks A Lot For Your Help and Falcon I was thinking of a Black Cherry also its not like the old days where you only had a few colors to choose from
     

  5. Man, I love that Jade Green. What a great color. Not too yellow, not too blue...just right!

    paint color for any ride is a tough one - just got to go with your gut - what looks good on one car may look all wrong on another type of ride - everyone has their own opinions of what is "right"

    What I do is I pick a color family (reds, or greens) then go down to the paint store and peruse the books. That new Ford "gem green" is gorgeous. Deep brilliant green. Love it.
