Guest stumax Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Restoreing the Studebaker President FE back as close to orginal as I can. The exterior color looked like it could have been a faded maroon. The color charts I have found on line is a Blue, Montana Brown Deep, Montana Brown Light, and a Black. Can anyone help be out on the colors and color combinations.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jpatino Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm not sure if this contains all the color combos available, but it's a good start. I've seen some color combinations on cars that are supposedly original but doesn't seem to be in the list.Color Chip Selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have the two attached files on 1929-30 Studebaker colors, I have some 1931 DuPont color code charts but not scanned yet. Color chart scan files are way to large to attach here anyway. From what I have noted at places like Hershey PA among literature sellers is that 1931 was the FIRST year outfits like Ditzler and DuPont [DuPont Bulletin #1 is dated Feb 28,1931, I have a copy] issued Studebaker specific color chart publications.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stumax Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for the info. I have a 1930 color sales brochure and it too has a maroon color studebaker in it as well, however, maroon is not on the list of color combonations. I really like marron, but I want the car to be right. My car before the paint was removed looked a real dark faded marron. Please let me Stude8 and other your thoughts on maroon.

Guest stude8 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Some where I had a off brand paint supplier list that included a color called "Rubicelli Red" for 1930's and it was a dark Maroon shade infact the 1930 Studebaker magazine ads for the State Victoria and FE Brougham models showed them in a deep red / maroon shade with black fenders. I don't have them scanned at this time but will hunt down if I have any not framed that can be scannned.I did scan the DuPont color bulletin #1 for 1931 Studebaker Presidents but its is all Blue brown and Green shades.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jpatino Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Do you by any chance have a copies for 1929? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeq Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have the color information on all the FE/FH Presidents and the Rubicille (red) Maroon was a popular color for these cars. I have a friend in PA who has a nice original FH sedan he is restoring and it was originally painted that color. I believe he got a good color match from an unexposed area on the body and had the paint mixed. If you want to email me direct I will provide you with his contact information.

Guest stude8 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wanted to add here the color formula codes I located for Studebaker Maroon colors from a Ditzler "Ditz-Lac Intermix System" Studebaker color schedule some time ago.For 1929 Commander cars Rubicelle Maroon was IM-1104Also for 1929 Commander cars a color called Dark Wine had no code number.For 1930 Erskine models Maloga Maroon was IM-839For 1932 closed models Orriford Lake Maroon was IM-718These were lacquer formula codes so modern tinting agents for enamel formulas may not exist.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest studepeople Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have an Fe President that I did many years ago now. It had been repainted but not under the rear seat cushion . The paint specs for the car were painted there. Right side as I remember . They were terrible so changed the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
