Muncie Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Ok, just a best guess - Chrysler Corporate Blue - reference PPG code 12785 (from an old can of Ditzler lacquer) - and Dodge truck white. However, that looks like a recent picture of an older truck so it may have been painted a more modern color. Corporate Blue looks darker than what shows in the photograph. more info - http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/paintdetail.cgi?ditzler=12785 Edited October 8, 2018 by Muncie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TECHMAN Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Almost think that, if you looked thru Google Images, at the different PETTY ENTERPRISES race cars, you might find one of the shades of "Petty Blue" & white that would work...… DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PettyKW43 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Actually Petty blue never changed but Chrysler Basin Street Blue is the factory name given , any auto body supplies shop could mix up a spray can or a pint of base ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that there is only ONE "Petty Blue",(did not know the correct name for it tho) and that the pictures on the "net" make them "seem" lighter or darker, that's why there was the "" Cool to see another Petty fan!!!!

TECHMAN Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Got curious about the "PETTY BLUE" so went into Wikipedia"s history about the color...………... According to them, the color was created by the PETTY family (this is according to RICHARD ) when they were preparing to paint a racecar, and there was not enough white or dark blue to paint the whole car, and the "blend" of the two colors resulted in "PETTY BLUE". Cool chunk of history...….. Loved the story!!!! DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PettyKW43 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I was always curious about the story of Petty Blue and looking at pictures of the early Petty Engineering cars ( before Petty Enterprises) I couldn’t figure out where the Indigo Blue part of the equation came from until I looked closely at some pictures and realized they used a dark blue drop shadow on the car numbers!
