Paint Colour

[stoff]

Hi Guys, just need to use one of your know how and experience to pick the correct paint colour.

I need to get hold of something as near as possible to Ford's Performance Blue. It's a strange one as in some light its almost purple.

Any ideas?

As Matt says, translucent blue backed with course silver, then black.

Cheers guys, any ideas on which types of paint to go for? Tins preferably as it will just be a simple one colour job.

If you have time, go along to a ford dealer and see if they have a book with colour chips of that model in. Then go to your LHS and see what looks close. It's a pearlescent blue with a purple flip, see if you can find an Aerosol described similar. There must be something out there that's close to it.
