Subject: How important is the originality of colour?
Hi,
The 14/60 semi-sports I shall be taking over is partially painted Maroon, partially in primer. A lot of the 1920s photos show 14/60s in light colours. Through its life the car has been several different colours and I was wondering how much importance to attach to originality of colour when I tackle the job. I would prefer something like the pretty light green or cream example that can be seen on the 'net.
Also I believe that Lagonda were one of the first to spray cellulose so probably they sprayed the 1926/27 cars? I can spray passably well but coach painting by hand would be a new skill to learn.
Any views on either question?
Graham
