VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Paint color

I have a 1932 coach that was built in Canada and was wondering if anyone could help me identify the correct color. Caul tag information is as follows:
Model Conf 100
Serial no. 571750 Body Serial 279
Engine 2322012 Body job 32551
Trim 57 Paint 1050

Thanks
John

Hello pottejo,
I cannot help you decipher Canadian numbers for your 1932 Chevy Coach, but maybe others with the info can. The one thing I may offer is to look in the hidden areas within your coach for the original paint. Door jams, under side of hood, lower portion of front cowl and dash board are areas to search. Consider that you will be working backwards towards finding the appropriate paint color. If you find what you believe is original paint, you should be able to narrow the color possibilities. If red, which red? If orange, which orange? What was used in 1932? Anyway someone should know what paint 1050 is. When you find out, let us know.

Paint combination number 1050 is Black and Bon Soir Gray with Black wheels and Cream striping.

Thanks. Do you have the IM paint number. I would like to check out the paint chips to see what they look like. I'm guessing that the Black is on the bottom half and Bon Soir Gray is the top half of the car.

Nope......the Black is on the top of the car (roof and rear quarters) and the Bon Soir Gray is on the lower portion of the body.

No IM paint number available.

Autocolorlibrary.com has identified some of the Canadian colours. Might give them a call. If the person you speak to can't locate it, ask to speak to Jimmy Chips. They don't know the paint codes, just the paint names..Joe
