Scallop color choices for 31 Model A Coupe

I would of said GOLD but I think that the Chrome firewall may conflict with it. So instead I would stick to something a bit more understated such as high gloss Black so that there is not too much going on. As is you car is really nice.

 

Hey Hatch! I guess green is the new black as I've been hearing!

You in Florida yet?

 

Yuup....florida it is!....two wheels for now, maybe a hot rod later.
I think the color looks great, it just needs something bright for contrast. The red windows clash, but with your new color, you don't need red.....which makes engine color a bit of a problem too, but not a major job.....any way....I like it!

 

I think white would pop on it

 

Ah...what the heck....buy a couple more quarts!!!

 

Gold

 

I say red scallops, matched to the engine ... with a thin cream pinstripe.

 

All this painting is wearing me out....

 

Dig that f'n green! Looks wicked cool!

 

The red and purple both look just as nice as the green!!

 

dang... as the guy who tinted that car I hate to say this but it just doesn't go with the current color. It was rad with the black...

 

wouldn't do scallops with hood and side panels.

Shoukd be without hood and side panels

Yeah, they gotta go.... sry dude...

 

I say wimbledon white with a red stripe outline. Looks Killer!

 

As long as we are playing around here, I'd say BIG flake like this 34, or how about satin black....sorry, just had to do it

 

Lose the red windows...tint 'em gray if anything...and no scallops...

 

Silver Grey goes with the color scheme and brings them both out.

It looks great without scallops. A stripe maybe (larger than 'pin' but smaller than 1/4")?

If you must do scallops, how about Gold Leaf? With a perimeter stripe around it of something milder (like red to tie in your windows, or creme / parchment).

 

I like the red windows....but every pic with scallops doesn't 'fit' with the overall 'look'...keep the windows w/ no scallops...or......get clear glass and the scallops....but not both....IMO...

 

i love it without scallops...

 

hows this? I think it might be too much red with the windows, but not too bad without?

 

There you go man! Repaint the whole car but tape off the scallops! LOL! Nice!

 

just throwing it out there man, something different. its ok you dont have to like it or you dont have to say thank you for the effort either.

 

hate the shape of the first sets of scallops.....the second 'fuller' shape eminating from the firewall are looking closer

cream white with a thick red flake outline

or even black with a purple outline

 

Hey..
In my vast wisdom and greatness may I add a thought that perhaps one should consider ( the one mean'n you) some 50's type pin stripe'n to this fine automobile.
Relize'n its power plant, youz should'nt be go'n two fast 4 folks to cast an eyeball on this ride.....

Be me.. Pontiac Slim.. freez'n my ass here in Maine..

PS... you get the W-Sta pics I sent?
Me & Pat are think'n about go'n to Springfield You?

 

Not sure what you meant there. I appreciated the effort. I think you read me wrong.

 

Didn't get the pics Slim. Can you resend them to me? Striping is definately an option. Tanks

 

hey..

Tried sen'n pic again...
Work'n on two guys that haz older Bronco rears... Deal'n with the younger crowd is interest'n....One guy thinks his stuff is gold!! Other guy clueless...Will keep ya in mind as all I need is center section
Later
Pontiac Slim

 

Got a lot to do to the car before I put a bigger higher hp motor in it. The thing has bad bump steer issues. Plus I want to see how the frame and suspension are. I'm sure it'll need to be beefed up. Then the Pontiac 421!
