Has Anyone Ever Seen This Car Color On A P15 Before?

The paint color has to be lighter.  I've been traveling down the road in this thing in the SoCal sun in a black car.  I'm done.  I'd like a lighter color car, it will be a bit easier.  That and the black primer is just plain fugly.  I was originally going for a goldish/tan but...I'm going to look at all my options and make a decision by next month.  I need to think about interior too.

Try going to a local paint store, preferrably one that been arround for years and carries multiple brand paints.

Look at their paint charts, try asking for a color book thats made for fleet use. All shades of reds in one area, blues another, golds etc. with all varing shades in one area.

Want a goldish/green, look at the gold area and the green area. Many mixes of color are avail.

These "fleet colors" are usually Cheaper? amd most can mixed as single stage or base/clear coat mixes.

Have them mix a pint of chosen color and try it on a smaller panel or unused panel and look at it outside in good light to make sure that it's what you want.

Chosing a "special color" that you like can be hard!

Best to ya,

If you want a greenish gold, try looking at the color chart for the 1972 Ford.  I had one in that color.

Jon.......just look around at cars in your travels.  If you see a color you like on a late model Kia or some-such, then

you could follow up with a paint store and narrow down the area in which to search.  Just a thought.

Well, if you want to stay period correct on a paint color, see what other colors were used on other non-Mopar cars in 1946-48 (e.g. Chevrolet, Buick, Ford, Studebaker, etc.). It might  not be what Plymouth offered, but it will be a color that exited then. Remember that people could also order special colors on new cars back then that the dealership didn't offer.
