1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible almost ready for paint! :)

It's been over a year since I purchased this and its finally got a coat of primer! :cool: Now, to get the paint to match as close as possible. "Sheldon Grey Metallic".

Looks beautiful, any more pictures?

A convertible out there has got to be next to heaven!

Thank You John_Mc! No more pictures yet. I'll have more pictures to come this month. When I found this convertible on the Island, I thought I was in heaven! Love it!

Looks very good.

Try a local PPG dealer for your paint. The metallic particles in the new paints are larger than when your car was built, so the color will be a little lighter. Have them mix up a small amount and spray a panel with it. Then adjust the formula to bring it closer to the original.

You might want to check the color of the paint. My '46 was originally Sheldon grey and there was no metallic in it, just a light grey. When the '47 cars were "freshened" in March of '47 they did change the colors and there were a couple of new metallic grey finishes. The early '47 cars carried over the '46 colors.

over a year!! oh my...I tip my hat that is great progress, once the paint is on, it gets fun putting shiny stuff back on!!
