I am finding numerous pics of these cars and it seems that everyone is painting them like they want to. None seem to match this car which is all original.

The hood was painted Stanford Brown with the hood moulding painted Beaver Brown Dark. The hood louvers were painted the same color as the hood with Shalimar Orange stripes on the leading edge of the hood louvers. laugh laugh laugh
