Hello -

Does anybody know of a modern color that's close to the '64 paint chip "Azure Aqua"? I'd getting close to the paint stage on my '64 Malibu and want to retain something close to the original color, but this paint chip is only available from PPG in either basic laquer or enamel. I'd much prefer the more modern materials!

Thanks in advance,

I would try to go to the local paint supplier and ask them to scan an original chip from their manuals. Once they scan it, the computer will bring up comparable colors. I just had this done for Aztec Bronze.

Thanks for the suggestion. Are you aware if this can be done for using an actual painted part sample as well? I've got a piece of the quarter I've saved, maybe I could bring this in and they can scan it?
