Re: Model A paint guide
The first edition was published in 1991, with three pages of color chops. The 3rd edition revised was published in 2008, with five pages of color chips. Big improvement. Looks like the 3rd edition revised is still being sold by the two national clubs. You can order your copy through either MARC or MAFCA.

Mike, just so we are clear, the first revision (and adoption by MAFCA) was in '91, but prior to that, wasn't this a Ditzler book produced as a sales tool for hobbyists? Then as PPG absorbed the name of Ditzler, the "second official revision" happened under the PPG name. Then MAFCA obtained the rights and added sketches however I think the book itself has been around long before 1991. Am I wrong?? . |

Brent: You are correct. I used to have a copy of that first PPG repaint manual, but lost it. I used it back in the 80's for painting our 28 Tudor. I didn't know about MAFCA obtaining rights back in '91, but what you said makes perfect sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Wexford- Why don't you just buy the book? It's a wonderful reference you will use for years. And yes, there is a page on moulding colors. |
