Chevrolet Blue Flame Six - matching color?

[Claes Ericsson]

Anything in bottled hobby paints that closely matches the blue color of the Blue Flame Six. Specifically year 1955 if the color has changed over the years...

if you cannot find something ready mixed, there are companies which will make it for you. i only use acrylics & spray bombs of non, but i think anything mixed will be enamel or lacquer.

if you have the patience, you could mix your own batch from what's available.

a sample of the target would be helpful for you to start. i guess this stuff is readily available, but i would join a Chevrolet Forum with the knowledge it will save you time and effort 

because someone has walked this path before you. might even find someone who will sell you a tiny bit of the actual thing.

if you're willing to mix your own or compromise in the name of scale sanity, any number of companies make quality paint.

Scale finishes has a "50s Chevrolet Blue" base coat engine paint if that helps.
