:I need the paint formula or paint number (Straw Color) for the 1930 Model A Ford Wheels.If you can put me in a direction, I would really appreciate it.

Frank,
I don't believe there are any formulas or paint numbers that match modern paints.There were some numbers that matched old Ditzler paint.These were shown in a book called the "Antique Ford Repaint Manual".These are no longer valid as I understand.Your best bet is to get the new "Model A Ford Paint Guidelines" available from the Model A Ford Club of America.It has paint chips for all the Model A colors, bodies, stripes, wheels etc. A good paint supplier should be able to match the color from these chips.
