Re: Andalusite Blue
Somewhere in the myriad of all this I read that a new paint guide is out or coming out that has larger chips that can be “read” by spectrometers
Checked MAFCA store and says larger chip samples in new revision is available Last edited by Oldbluoval; 06-13-2021 at 06:37 AM. |

Re: Andalusite Blue
@Oldbluoval, yes there is a new paint guide. It does have larger paint sample chips. I got mine from MAFCA.

Re: Andalusite Blue
Whatever colour it is, it's looking good.

Re: Andalusite Blue
I would like to paint my roadster this color, I am thinking about using TCP acrylic enamel. I want this to be as dark as possible. Should I use a black sealer?

Re: Andalusite Blue
No need if you use a good quality paint that has plenty pigment.

Re: Andalusite Blue
Using black sealer won't make the color any darker, it will save you a little paint as opposed to using something light.

Re: Andalusite Blue
You might want to try this place. I know it is not a 1930's color, but they perfectly matched my 1953 Mercury Yosemite Yellow, with the original formulas, they have in their library.

Re: Andalusite Blue
Hello, I had a 1930 standard roadster that was Andalusite Blue , and it was almost black,the blue was noticeable in bright sunlight. I am not to surprised color chips don’t match.Paint has changed so much over the years.

Re: Andalusite Blue
I would also say the roadster in 1 st picture is Washington blue riviera blue combination, a 30 31 Deluxe color. Andalusite blue is much darker also is one solid color, belt molding is also the dark blue, pinstripes could be French gray or red depending on month of manufacturing.

Re: Andalusite Blue
Not a question on the paint colour but your afitar. I remember the flying red horse from the 50's when I was a kid then. I always had in mind it was a Mobil Old emblem. I recently read it was emblem of another auto supplier. Do fill me in. Thanks, gary.

Re: Andalusite Blue
The post in #4 is not even close and is not a Model A original color. Even taking into account lighting and cameras it is way off. Andalusite blue is very very dark looking black until sunlight hits it. The deck lid above looks more like Lombard blue which was a late 30-31 color. My tudor is painted that with lacquer I did in 1982 and it still looks great today and is a beautiful color.
I don’t know about matching the “new” chip but I can tell you the colors above are NOT correct for andalusite blue. Colors get muddied a lot and it’s hard to get modern day paint folks to really match well and give a crap about doing it well unfortunately. They just want to move onto the next customer and not go through the effort of being a professional in the industry and trying to match for the customer . Just my nickels worth. Larry Shepard |

Re: Andalusite Blue
Hello I recall working in a body shop back in early 80,s and doing repair work on a Ford Friesta because fellow worker said it was black, checking the code and also moving it out side , it was a dark blue. Also had a 1930 Standard roadster at that time, thinking how close of a color match it was .The roadster was done in IM 121 Ditzler lacquer. now unavailable.The roadster looked the same way in dark almost black, the blue cast was more noticeable in bright sunlight.
