  • Correct Sky Hawk 2 Tone Paint Pattern

    It seems like whenever I Google up 2 tone paint scheme pictures for the Sky Hawk, there are a BUNCH of different combinations How did the Factory do it? I LIKE the ribbed trunk panel painted the contrasting color, but did they come that way from the Factory? Thanks guys...

    The Front Side Grille Panels and Decklid trim 2 Tone Paint on a FEW Hawks are Owner or Dealer applied.

    Here is the correct Two-Tone, can't be sure about that blue though.

    I would prefer the Medium Blue; Air Force Blue Metallic a beautiful color. Like this one ^

          Thanks for letting me know, It works for me but that could be because it lives on my C Drive, I'll re-add it as a "Picture" instead of an attachment.

            What color would the inside of the side grilles be, and isn't there some sort of "grille work" that goes inside them?

              Any input on what the paint color on the inside of the side grilles should be? How about grille work? I see some with grille work in them...

                You have a '56 to know what a '56 looks like one needs to look at '56's, most have enough sense to keep a collectable Hawk Correct.

                As you can see on my Pic #1 on Post #2, the Side Grille Panels are Main Body Color from the Factory on '56, '57 and '58's.

                It would be the '58 to '61 Silver Hawks and Hawks that have a Matching Grille Egg Crate in the side Grills.

                    I was talking about the Pictures of Hawks and the ones you will see at SDC Events, NOT you.
