Time for a colour change.

Lovely, lovely car!

Me, I'd stay with as-is.

If you really must paint it - well. I'd go with the kinds of colours that remain sympthetic to pre-WW2 dyes, please. The white or grey work for me.

The classic muted post-WW2 colours might also work - Almond cream, muted or spruce green, cornflower blue, cellulose maroon, clarendon grey and the like. Think the kind of colours you'd find on Austins and Morris well before 1960s ( or research equiv american period colours) for things it might have been re-coated in a second youth as a 50's hotrod.


Metallic yellow slammed over rimz is right out imo

I don't suppose you can trace the original colour for a car this old? I would always want to return it to original myself.

Saw thio for sale at the Barratt Jackson. But many of your pix seem, if I may say so, a bit "in your face". Dark blue perhaps, Maroon?, colours which don't shout. Of course it's your car and you can do as you want, and we look forward to seeing it when the decision is made.
