28 Tudor paint colors

Posted by Rob on May 17, 1997 at 06:59:40

My thanks to Bob and Jack for response to my last posting on this subject. Since then I purchased 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 a common b/w photo of the car as depicted in many of the publications. In the "Repaint Manual" the '28' Tudor is depicted with a lower body color which appears about 1/2 as bright as black and which I presume to be Arabian Sand (dark)or Dawn gray. A lighter color is depicted 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.
