Color Match
Good morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!
I was wondering if there was a way to get the Paint Code for Prussian Blue. I may need to respray a hood.
This blue has different hues in different lights and I would think it would be difficult to match.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Tom

A-ha! That's what that color is... my paint code is 658-9-3 or something along those lines, which doesn't come up anywhere.
There's also a decal that states "this vehicle finished in a two stage enamel. for repair follow manufacturer's instructions".
You won't get a color like this in one shot - I think one layer is the color, the other is the iridescent effect. My 96M Miata had a very similar color, purple to blue to black; when I painted the roll bar, I just picked a blue that was "close enough".
