Pete Woodruff 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mark, The 90D paint code is a two-tone job, Renfrew Gray Metallic upper and Glacier Blue Metallic lower. The wheels should be Glacier Blue Metallic with a white stripe. The trim code 91 for a series 25 car calls for Tan Plush (Mohair) upholstery. Link to post Share on other sites
stil 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Pete,Thanks so much for this info. This is what I suspected. The car had been repainted so I was not sure about the 2-Tone. The wheels (under the current blue paint) do have 3 stripes - 2 thin and a thick in the middle.Now all I need to do is find a paint supplier that can mix this paint.Another question: Can you provide information on the steering column color?Thanks again.Mark Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Woodruff 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mark, The steering column and gearshift lever should be Sandalwood Beige, the Dupont color number in 1940 was 202-52874. The instument panel radio delete plate, or radio control finish plate, plus the clock medallion and clock are paint number 246-6018. I don't have a color name for this paint.

rgshafto 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The "D" indicates Duco paint on the fenders - more chip resistant. Color-Rite in CT specializes in reformulating these original colors. 203-393-0240 colorite@snet.net Link to post Share on other sites
