I hope you’ve got good brakes, John –
the standard Magnette ones won’t be good enough to stop that color
quickly.

Allen,

 

Very pretty car! Wish I could have made the Grand Rapids gathering last weekend to see it
up close!

 

Paint –

 

I found that this Maroon color changes drastically with the light
applied. My newer painted car will easily show the spread of 3 possible colors
shown on the color chips I have depending on the light. Just for fun I took
some rubbing compound to the original red paint within the doorjamb of my
unrestored car and took a flash picture of it.  Then I took a flash
picture of my restored car and placed them all against some color chips for
these cars (see attached/below).

 

Results to my eye –

 

·        
Both of my 1958 ZB cars are very close to the
same shade of Red/Maroon.

·        
Based on the color chips I have they seem to
best match the Cherry Red color chip or the DuPont 83440 color chip (under
flash pics).

·        
The Autumn Red chip seems closer than the
Magnette Red.

 

Have to agree with Steve that in the end finding the best actual
match is best done with a real sample of the target color.  I used to do
quite a bit of auto painting and matching older color systems wasn’t very
accurate in my recollection.  

 

Martin

Hi David,



 





Ooops!  '
Thought I was writing to Martin Peterson.  Too many "Martins"
for my feeble old brain.  I still think the color, though faded in the
pictures, might be my "Autumn Red"  (see below).
