Our 1932 Ford Victoria is about to be resurrected from a long rest. Original paint seems to be Brewster Green, and we tried to replicate that in todays PPG paint. But we were disappointed. The body turned out to be too dark and "military". In order to improve the look, we have decided to go for the combination of Brewster Green Medium and Brewster Green Light. But matching the original color and a modern color mix is ??not easy, so we need some help from V8 colleagues: What is the correct mixing formula for these two green colors in a modern PPG variant? One more question, interior: The window frames and dashboard became a bit too orange. Does anyone have a good PPG mixing formula for these parts? This message was edited by Arnie on 2-18-24 @ 2:14 AM

You can get good color match modern paints from autocolorlibrary.com, including the two '32 Brewster greens. Your photo doesn't show much of the dash so I can't assess the color of the base coat for the wood grain. Agree that it should not be orange.

Here's a good example of the original '32 deluxe dash and garnish molding base color prior to the addition of the wood graining.
