veterantechnic Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yes, you are right, Dale. These stainless strips are really hard and does not allow the bending. Especially in front by the smaller radius. I think I will replace these to soft fender felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veterantechnic Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 About green colour. There was only one place with good original paint. It was inner side of the name plate. The right tone we got by "hand craft". We did not find chance to make right tone by modern colour code. I hope I can have the code of these paint by the Standox.

The more I look at them,the more all the different shades of ever color start to look alike. On top of that,it seems like I never see a color on any of those charts that looks like any color I have seen on an actual car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 You can't on a computer screen. Differences in computers, cameras and screens will interpret digital colors differently. Go to a jobber and look at their chips, in the sunlight - not under a fluorescent light. I can get them close comparing chips to a paint sample indoors or with a camera but I take them outside for the final comparison. The camera does not ensure a color match. Spectremaster has chip books that goes by shades of a dominant color and it's fairly easy to get it down to two or three choices for best match. The lighting inside may make it a perfect match, take it outside and it's off a little, shade lighter or darker and it may still need a bit of "hand craft". Your local jobber can do that for you. If you want to match a color, do it locally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be sure to do that when I get my 51 ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 One of the fellows here made a pair from wood. Shaped them with rasps and sand paper then finished with foam and fabric. Had to look very closely to tell they were facsimiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
