In the paint code dept it lists this as bright blue metallic...anyone have pics or more info..would this be lemans blue???or you could end my suffering and post a pic along with the PPG BC/CC part #..

the cowls are the original color and I love it.. would it be better to try and scrape a chip off and bring it to the ppg guy?


thanks, chris

Code 26 in 71 is Mulsanne blue. There is a pic of my 71 in my sig. I didn't use PPG. I used Sherwin / Williams so I can't help you out with their paint codes. The paint companys don't go back 30 years, so they go to the next available color If you give them a paint code they will comp. match it to the closest color ..Bill
