VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 '28 AB Coupe Paint Scheme for Interior

Need some clarification on the two tone painting scheme for an early '28. The dunsmuir grey is applied to the following areas:

1. Disc portion of wheels. Split rim is black?
2. Interior garnish moldings of door at window
3. Interior verticle garnish moldings at windshield
3. Exterior window recess on the doors
4. On the dash? Is the large recessed area in the center painted grey? Gauge cluster insert is white?

Bumped up to top of list.

Any feedback as I am trying to restore back to original. The factory paint was too far gone to determine color scheme.

If the car is early the rims may have been zinc plated. Apparently sometime in 1928 rims were changed to black paint.

The interior garnish moldings were all dunsmuir gray as was the outside window depression, center of the dash and disc wheels.

Don't remember the name of the green color on the Coupes but if someone else does not give it to you, I can look it up when I get back home.

If you PM me with your Snail Mail address, I'll send you a copy of these documents which will include the striping sizes and locations..
