Question about Tamiya spray blue color

[58 Impala]

Can anyone tell me which color Tamiya blue is close to Ford engine blue?

Assuming you're talking 60's-era, I've seen slightly different shades of blue 1:1 examples.  Some could be re-paints in a "close enough" shade, who knows? 

TS-15 is the closest match to the original paint on my '67 289.

Another consideration would be Tamiya TS-93 Pure Blue. This color is slightly lighter than the TS-15 Blue and is also a non- metallic color. Depending on how stock you are trying to be remember that like many manufacturers the color can be slightly different from one year to the next and even from one plant to another.

Thanks Mike, I'm doing a 428 for a modified and just wanted to get close.

Thanks David. Like I just stated in the post to Mike, I'm doing a 428 for a modified and just wanted to get close.

That new of a car could be Googled. There should be pictures, hopefully of original engines, that would give you an idea of the shade of blue you need.
