Show us your Deuce 3W coupes....

Hey guys...

Im gettin' close to paint and need to pick a kolor!! Needless to say, I ALWAYS hate this part of a build up...and choosing the right kolor is such a pain in the ass...

I want a brighter kinda kolor as opposed to a dark one....and am leaning toward an early Ford type beige.....

I'd love to see what kolors fellow Hambers have painted their coupes....

And seude black is soooo common....Im sick of seein' it.

Sooo....what have ya got ?

you forgot to mention your frame and stuff are baby blue!
off white would be cool, Ford Merino white is a good one...off 60-63 falcons.really creamy white.
what about a few shades darker blue than your frame in suede, with an off white glossy firewall?

 

Hi LS...

Yeah I know...but the baby blue is tinted primer....now i gotta pick a colour.

Im also leanin to a brighter/deeper shade of b/blue.

Decisions......aaaarrrghhhh!!

Like this...........

 

Ooops...goofed...

Like this.

 

Is this your car? If so I think the color of your primer is just fine. Why not just paint it that color or like said previously just a little bit darker shade of blue. It's all up to you though.

 

Or that works too.

 

Yeahhh....thats it !!

 

The color on the "Spacetruck" ain't bad either. I saved all the pics of your car for inspiration when I finally get around to building a hot rod. It is very close to what I would like to build someday once my '53 is done.

 

Yeah that colour is ok too.. I want this thing to POP !!

OK....well does anyone have a 3W I could take a gander at ?

Rat

 

no coupe - no 32 - but maybe you like that colour

 

I thought all your chassis and suspension were painted!
so you have to blow it all apart again?damn.
that gives you more options on colour though....
what about a pastel lemon yellow with black frame and wheels and red grille insert?
Maiki get over here and photoshop this thing!

 

Here's a purple one for ya. I'll keep looking through my files.

 

Yep...gonna have to blow it apart...snad my fingerprints off (again !!) then hit it, detail componenets and final assemble.

In other words Im building this thing three times.

 

And here is a beige for you, even though it's not a 3-w.

 

You have probably seen this one before, since it's a pic taken from a show down under.

 

Another.

 

HHHhhmmmmmm.

 

BLACK

 

Wow thanx for the pix 53 Cheb....keep em comin' !!

Yeah I've got a big pic of that beige steel 3W from down here. Nice guy too....

Gloss black is tuff/kool....but a bitch to maitain on a driver...

Any more?

 

That baby blue rules. Keep it.

 

Don't paint it gold

 

Definitely keep the baby blue...perfect color for a mid-50's style car.
