Maroon Paint shades
I am trying to figure out the various shades of maroon. I don't want the real dark shades as it may show up blackish.... I have looked at images of cars on the web and it is very hard to go by them. Which is the lightest maroon??
Ford Maroon or Mulberry Maroon |

Re: Maroon Paint shades
The 1932 Maroon is nicer looking than the Model "A" Ford Maroon.

Re: Maroon Paint shades
I recently had my 31 Std. Roadster (Canadian built) painted. I had 2 cowls, both Canadian and both with original "Maroon" paint on them. The paint was quite good under fasteners, wiring junction box etc. Shur-fit Auto Parts (Canada) was able to come up with an original Canadian Ford "Deep Red" used for several years from 1928 into the mid 30's. It looked like a very close match so I went ahead with it. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. It is a rich color but has lots of life and to me contrasts very well with the black fenders, etc. It is a PPG paint and the brand code is 51017 if that helps. If you need more info, let me know.
