'28' Tudor paint

Posted by Rob on May 17, 1997 at 06:31:07

Can anyone help clear up my confusion concerning paint colors for the '28' Tudor?
I have the "Repaint Manual" and "Paint and Finish
Guide". However I'm still confused. The five color schemes detailed for the '28' Tudor do not seem to match the standard b/w photo of the car as depicted in many commone publications. In the "Repaint Manual" the '28' Tudor is depicted with a lower body color about 1/2 as bright as black. I presume this to be Arabian Sand (dark)or Dawn Gray. A light color is dipicted on the belt, windshield, and reveals. The stripe
is of an even lighter color. The hood also seems to be lighter than the lower body color. This combination does not seem to match any of the five original combinations for this year. I have seen this same photo in several other publications, i.e. DeAngelis "Production Facts Book" page 102; and the "service Manual", page 23. It is hard to determine what the actual colors are given the b/w photo, but it is clear that the belt is a lighter color than the lower body and that the lower
body is not one of the blue color combinations.
I am about 3 weeks from sending this car to the painter and still am undecided about color. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
