What to Paint on My Buick

Recommended Posts

I'm sure someone can help me here. I am slowly disassembling my 1931 Buick for painting. It has a 60's era quickie paint job over the original paint. Anyway, I am looking to get it painted the original color and as close to the original style as possible.

My question is on the hood hold downs does anyone know what was painted and what was not in 1931. When the Earl Schive job was done they just painted everything.

My guess is the handle/lock and the bottom base are natural or metal/brass and the center tube was body color.

Any one out there know?

I have seen these parts plated. I Know on my 1925 Standard the top is plated and the body and base is black. I will ask my friend in our Mason-Dixon club who has 3 1932s as to what he may have. We have to keep you moving so you can make it to the show!
