A few nice automotive paint images I found:
1930 Ruxton, Five Passenger Sedan
Image by Ger and Audrey
The Front-Wheel drive Ruxton was built by the Moon Motor Car Company of St. Louis, Missouri and the Kissel Motor Car Company of Hartford, Wisconsin under contract to New Era Motors Inc. of New York City.
Josef Urban, a New York City theater set designer. created the body color scheme: eight colors were applied in overlapping horizontal bands that served to exaggerate the already low profile of the car. The front-wheel drive eliminated the central drive-shaft, providing a much lower car than other cars of the period, with the exception of the L-29 Cord across the aisle.
A second multi-color combination was available with shades of brown, tan, orange and white; most Ruxtons were just painted black. The streamlined Woodlight headlamps were an accessory item and part of the overall design. Only 298 Ruxtons were built, and fewer than twenty are thought to exist.

The surrounding yellow paint job made for some great reflections.
