I'm in need of some help. I'm restoring a 1930 deluxe coupe and I can't decide on what color to have it painted. I did run across this picture and I like the way it looks. Can anyone tell me what colors are in the picture? I know its a base coat clear coat system.
Thanks,
Zack

That is not an original color, I can tell you that much. No one here could give you the exact color, maybe someone can give you a color that is close. If you like red, try Ford Maroon Medium.
 
It looks to me like,rubalite red ,I believe that it was a truck color for 1930-1931 I don't know if the painted coupes that color ? Hope this help they do make a paint chart with all the model a colors and what,body styles that the car color came in
 
My tudors are medium ford maroon on the left and ford maroon...

Zack, according to the Paint & Finish Guide, the 1930 Deluxe Coupe (45-B Dlx) chart shows:
Lower Body & Reveals Upper Body Belt & Sill Mouldings Pinstripe
Kewanee Green Elkpoint Green Apple Green
Copra Drab Chicle Drab Straw
Chicle Drab Copra Drab Straw
Black Black Vermillion
Black Black Apple Green
Brewster Green Black Apple Green
Ford Maroon Black Vermillion
All wheels Black.
If you intend to enter Fine Points competition these are probably your choices.
My thinking is that if you are looking to build a driver, paint it any color that pleases you.
My '31 roadster is Washington Blue with Riviera Blue belt and Tacoma Cream striping. The striping is stock plus and the 16" wheels are of an unknown spray can yellow. I'm not the builder, just the caretaker. There are other non-stock parts as well, but I am a Happy Camper! Russ
