EXPERT ADVICE ON
COI.(IKS EOlt I IIE <’A 1C
W hen one observes m any of the
repain ted c a rs he is rem inded of
th a t truism In S hak esp eare's King
John w hich spoke of “m ocking the
air w ith colours Idly sp read .”
"C olours" spelled In the o ld-fash­
ioned w ay is quite in keeping w ith
the way in w hich som e ca r ow ners
Insist on "m ocking th e a ir ” w ith
th eir old-fashioned w ays of refln-
tshlng th e ir cars.
With th e new type of perm anent
pyroxylin finish a c a r can be kept
b rillian t and w ith as good a look­
ing su rface as It had when it w as
fresh from th e factory. Groom
your ca r th e way you used to do
w ith th e old horse. T he ca r won't
take a q u a rte r as m uch tim e.
G rays such as rendezvous and
M alson, w hich you enn find in the
new pyroxylin finish, w ith a hint of
violet, prove very effective even
wlimi coated with a little film o f
dust.
B aronial m aroon trim m ed with
gold is a color schehie th a t resists
th e so-called traffic film. Blues
like M lndlnao and B oatsw ain blue
a re also able to tight th e ir way
th ro u g h layers of dust and mud.
W arm rich brow ns trim m ed w ith
black and gold usually need little
attention. A fter all, th ese are th e
good old ea rth colors.
To give your ca r Individuality
use the m ore vivid hues on the
w heels or low on the chassis or
around th e windows. But rem em ­
ber that In using two or m ore col­
o rs th a t von m ust know the resu lts
th a t w ill follow Color can m ake
your c a r look longer, or shorter,
ta lle r or lower. T he thing to know
is how to use It.
In dressing up th e "b u s” end In
order to m ake It look longer use
th e dark color on the upper p art
of the c a r and on th e fenders, and
sandw ich th e light colors In b e ­
tw een. D ark colors have th e efTect
of com pressing light colors and so
th e wide band of light tone on your
ca r will m ake it look appreclatably
longer. E xperim ent a little before
m aking your final decision.
Light w heels scent to raise the
c a r higher from th e ground. U n­
less you have a long wheel base
avoid m aking a m istake.
Be su re to accentuate, by the use
o f color, th e horizontal line on
your c a r and be quite as su re to
avoid em phasizing any of th e verti
cal lines.
If you have m uch up-and-dow n
color It w ill eith er cut your car up
Into several pieces or else m ake It
look squatty .
C ars th a t have reveals sunk
around th e w indows a re benefited
by the u se of a little m ore vivid
color thereab o u ts, b u t ca re should
be taken so as not to color the
wheels too brightly.
The drum s of the four-w heel
brakes cun be used as a mean to
develop secondary color, low in the
allhoutte, and give the w heels add
ed color Interest.
It is a sim ple proposition to have
beautiful colors on th e fam ily car.
Finally, avoid the dull black as
a one-color scheme.
