ok thank you

 

maroon/burgundy is always good. Anything from Ford Coach Maroon to ***ian Red. You will need to get a sample sprayed and see it in the sunlight. Some maroons turn brown or muddy in sunlight.

 

When you decide a color - keep metallics, pearls and clears out of the batch too.

 

My '46 Olds sedanette is OEM metallic gold upper with OEM solid beige lower. I will be repainting it in OEM colours with OEM wood grained interior dash & garnish molds.
