I am starting to get ready to put parts of my car back together after working on the mechanical parts. While I am a ways away from painting the body there are some parts of the car that I will be painting/powder coating now and I am trying to get some guidance on what it used to look like prior to doing so.
I've found several different sources for body paint such as http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...r=1940&rows=50
I am leaning towards the Colleen Dark Green. From what I understand the running boards are body color (or fender for two tone) and then rubber matting is applied. The frame, tie rods, etc I plan on doing just simple black.
What color would the wheels have been?
What about the engine bay? Was that body color as well?
Any other paint details that I didn't ask about?
The engine and trans used to be the engine green offered for that era. I am thinking this might look odd with the Dark Green. Trying to decide if I go with the green or some other color such as grey.
Thanks in advance for any help!
