My 1948 Fleetmaster Woodie wire channel from towards the windshield to the dome light needs repainting. I was told that it is an original color (beige), the car is painted live oak green and the door hinges are also beige. Any idea of what the color is, I did a search and only came up up body colors. With any luck I’ve attached a photo.
The 1948 wagon only came in Live Oak Green or Oxford Maroon . The exposd metal door framing on the bottom of the doors and exposed hinges are painted a new colo thar matches the color of the wood more closely.(from 1948 Engineering).
Interor metal pats may have been painted to match the suronding wood.
The top material matched the body color..
Dead oak green would have better described the green as after two years it lost its shne and you could not get a lasting shine back' I had a 1949 in that color.
I found that Nason YS 311 (Axalta) Spectramaster Yellow was a near exact match with the unexposed areas on the 48 wagon trim so that is what I used. Even after bleaching the old wood several times, the exterior ash framing and the inside roof slats, are still a bit darker than the YS 311. This could be because I applied several coats of varnish compared to the factory’s two or three. I will say the contrast shown in these pictures is better in the daylight.
