jjsipes Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Here ianother one that I got painted between the rain falling this week. It's the Moebius 1954 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe. This is the thrid good around at trying to paint this one. First I had it a Dark Metallic Red with a Black roof but that just wasn't doing it for me. So I stripped it and went another direction. Testors Tropical Turquoise and Tamita Racing White. I'm digging this more. Just do not know what to do for interior though. I am looking at the dash possibly being Model Master Interior Metallic Blue but then I don't know what to do for the rest of it. Want to try and stay stock looking with it. Here's the colors together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I like your exterior colors. I'd go with a similar turquoise color for the interior.I don't know how "factory correct" it would be, but the car would also look good with an ivory interior to play off the roof color. Maybe a combo turquoise-ivory two-tone interior? Could look pretty slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The correct interior colors are dark blue, dark brown, and a medium gray. I have seen (somewhere,) mention of green, as well. The colors you have here aren't too far off from Symphony Blue-Green Light, a 1952-53 color. It is entirely possible Hudson would have built a car with that scheme on special order.I would use the blue with these, as that was a common Hudson practice. Testors Sea Blue is pretty good. The accents would be a medium blue. Sea Blue with a couple of drops of white will get you to the ballpark. The dashes were usually painted body color, at least on the older Step-Downs. From what I have been able to surmise, '54 matched the interiors. Although this is a Hollywood (and I'm not sure about the upholstery pattern itself,) the colors and materials are correct for Step-downs and will give you a general idea. http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=16150Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Not sure how you would feel about this, but in that era a lot of manufactures had the dash and window moldings painted to look like a wood grain pattern. Just a thought if you wanted it to look a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks guys fir your thoughts and comments. Still trying to figure out what I want to do for the interior colors. IN the mean time, I have started to foil the trim. Spent about 1 1/2 hours last night on it while watching SpinOut with Elvis. Got one side just about completed.

jjsipes Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Messing around with the interior and this is what I came up with. Not sure I like it but, you don't really see alot of it once its built and on the shelf. I used Testors Interior Blue/Green and Randome Tan and Tamiya Semi-Gloss clear to enen out the sheen. I don't have the body at hand right now (it's at home and I'm at work) but, here is a hood from a 56 Ford F-100 that is the same Tropical Turquiose color that the Hudson was painted.
