I am restoring a 1935 Ford 3W Coupe and I need some help with the medium apple green color for the rims and the bright apple green for the body stripe. Does anybody have a modern formula for either of these two 1935 Ford colors that will get me close to the correct color. the body of the car is already painted black.
Thank you for your assistance
 
I have a 35 Tudor Deluxe that is Vineyard Green with the apple green body stripe. Auto Color library online has these colors and color charts, but I also had a painter friend of mine look up the color through his body shop's paint system, and he matched the roof of the car perfectly when we installed a new roof insert, and fixed the rust around the roof channel. Any good body shop should be able to find the paint codes for your car.

Also, if you have any panels with color left, or samples of the colors, many auto paint stores can scan the sample and mix up matching paint. I have done this with success. Not sure of your location, but there is a paint store in the San Francisco area that does that.
 
Thank you for the replies. Unfortunately I do not have any samples of the apple green medium or the bright apple green to follow or take to a body shop or paint store to match. I am hoping that someone has had the same problem that I am presently having and has a modern formula for these two colors.
 
A paint that I have used in the past which I feel is an excellent match for '35 Apple Green is: Delstar Acrylic enamel DAR-44783, Warner Co. Green.

I have similar problems, I’m trying to find a modern formula for the 1935 Vineyard Green. I have found on the web of RM paint, the application color explorer online, and on these tool I had found a formula for the Apple Green, but not for the Bright Apple Green and also for the Vineyard Green, you can try the link is http://colorexplorer.rmpaint.com/index.php?language=5 and you need to put the name of the color *apple green* and also the manufacturer Ford America. With these info appear a formula for 1931-36 Apple green, click below on the Paint Line DIAMONT and you have the modern formula CS1 5137A.
I haven’t tried these colors, but could be a good start point.
If you finally have the correct color formula for both colors, please tell me.
Regards,
Fredys
