The paint on my ’58 resto was leftover DuPont from a ’58 CD I had done. It came from my auto supply and I remember it was a genuine FORD color match. I sure wish I had kept the codes as it is extremely close to the original Johnson paint and you can’t tell the difference in the sunlight. The motor looks a lot better in real life!
Say Chris, does that flywheel look right to you? I kind of think it’s from a later twenty horse motor.
Hey Mumbles,
When I was a kid my mom had a ~1978 Mercury Monarch that was that color. IDK if that helps with looking up a paint code for it or not. I had forgotten about how close that color was to holiday bronze until I read your post.
