The Stovebolt Site Forums Project Journals Project Journals 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Project

Yes, I would like to do a dark blue, but I don’t like the factory blues from that era. I also don’t want any metallics or modern color/clear finish. I want a single coat that looks somewhat period correct. I’m leaning toward (don’t kill me) a furd color called Washington blue from the mid to late thirtys, but it’s not etched in stone.

I attached a picture of the color. I know it’s not a Stovebolt, but if you look you’ll see what looks like my truck in the background so it’s OK to post! I also plan to paint the rims red with the correct caps and beauty rings.
