Burgandy colour needed

My dad and I are building a 39 ford deluxe coupe and want to paint it burgandy. The car is traditional with white walls, so I need a code or car and year of a great colour. Pictures would be great thanks

 

Best way is to find a car with the color you like and then get the factory paint code.
burgandy could be anything from Oxblood to many color of red.

i had the same q about my '49, ended up going with some form of brandywine, lexus and gm have a nice newer brandywine-ish color to start with and tweak unless you're going for factory.

 

What, are you and your dad going nuts man???...you don't want to ever paint a traditional car with white walls burgandy!!

 

This is from a mid 70's Chevy truck

 

I'm doing a 68 GTO thats Flambeau burgundy poly.

 

honduras maroon

riverrat

 

Titian red!!

 

69 Lincoln maroon

 

I don't know if it was available stock in '39 but '40 Ford Mandarin Red is what I call maroon.

 

A '39 Ford Deluxe Coupe deserves a '39 Ford color. Whatever you do though, don't shoot it in a metallic. Coach Maroon Bright, Claret Maroon, Mandarin Maroon, or Garnet Maroon could all be options. They were in '39.

Beyond providing a paint code though, online color chips are worthless. Do some research & find some examples. See them IN PERSON.

Personally, I've wanted to paint something "Cloud Mist Gray" for years - just because it's green.

mid-90's GM Dark Cherry Metallic, as seen on the Impalas

 

Didn't they have a maroon in '39. I've several painted with it, I like it.

 

This pic is a little dark, but it's what I think of. Sorry no color code. Maybe the owner will see this and chime in?

 

The Peter Beater is '46 Ford Garnet Red. Can't upload a photo from my iPod. I'll get one later.

 

here is a photo of it Pete---more maroon than burgandy.

 

here is a friend's 46 Merc and yes the original paint is faded but it is a true burgandy in my opinion. <center>

Did this 66 Chevy Wagon and the color is from a mid 70's mopar. Liked it cause it looked old and could use base/ clear. Would have to get the paint code off the can if your interested.

 

'36(?) Auburn/Cord 'Rich Maroon' is a colour I plan on using in the future.You'll find it in the Auto color library mentioned by 'Harrison'.

 

Try late 80's early 90's S-10 Blazer. It's a non metalic color and works well with older Ford shapes. It has an early vibe to it. It's what is going on my '32 5w if I don't redo it the Honduras Maroon ('62 Vette) that's on it now.

1965 GM(chevrolet/pontiac) paint code "N" madiera maroon/burgandy. Do a seach on google for 1965 GM paint code N pictures.

 

Hey, gearheadforever;

If you're not locked into some "traditional" shade of burgandy, you might look @ '03 SAAB 9-3, & ~ '05 SAAB 9-5, Merlot Red. Wife's rather partial to that one... .

Also, the SAAB 9-7x, ~ '07->'09, Lingenberry (sp?) Red. 2nd favorite.

I like 'em, too.

FWIW.

Marcus...

 

my friends buick, I don't know what the color was off of though, if you're going to Detroit you could ask him

 

Thanks for al the advice, the hamb is great for info. Does anybody have a picture of a 39 or 40 in the stock burgandy colour? THANKS

 

My 92 GMC S15 Jimmy was the exact color you want. That is your application to go buy paint with.

 

Check out Mercedes Benz 567 - Bordeaux Red Metallic Clearcoat

www.paintscratch.com is good for matching OEM colors to paint codes... just don't go by the color chip provided.

 

Here ya go - '40 Standard but close enough. Color is a 1990s Honda burgundy - non metallic.

 

Does anybody else have some more pic's of this car (maybe in full light)?
Who does this coupe belong to (HAMBer)??

 

i met this guy at bonneville and took lots of pics. im not sure if he's on the hamb but i think he may be involved with tardell in some way? id be interested in more info too.
