Guest bkazmer Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 4817 Calvert Blue Poly - you can cross check from there. the original pigment mix is not useful for making paint now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Any auto paint dealer should be able to mix the original color if you give them the name and number. The local dealer will not have the formula but can get it from their paint supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dick Whittington Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Most of the current offset colors require some/extensive tinting to get a good color match. If you have a paint jobber that has the ability to scan your paint, and you can find a small patch of original color on your can, he can get you fairly close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bkazmer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I think this is a metallic (most "Poly" are) - even more ways to go wrong with a spectro scan match. Visual by an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antonio Sousa Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 4817 Calvert Blue Poly - you can cross check from there. the original pigment mix is not useful for making paint now Thanks for the help. In reality the original color seeme to be the "4817 Calvert Blue Poly". I'm convinced by the painter to use modern Acrylic to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
