Light / electric blue paint code

[Mat Jackson 1975]

I know it’s gell coat, but does anyone have a paint code that’s a good match for the Westfield light / electric blue like the one in the picture?

Is that the same colour as your car @Mat Jackson 1975? 

 

If so you can get it scanned. Many paint suppliers can do that and give you either an exact match from the paint database or the closest to it. 

 

I used The Car Paint Warehouse nearest to me.

 

I'm sure you know all this though...

No - but it’s the colour I want it to be!!

Anyone got any off cuts?

If you don't have existing parts to colour match it with, surely you have more freedom to choose whatever shade of blue you like the most?

I can - but a colour can look great on paper (or another car) and then look naff on a Westie…

There are only a few gel coat manufacturers so you may be able to match their colour charts to the colour you want and get a RAL or BS number from the colour chart to get the paint made . I dont know what company old Westfield used but Midas and Quantum used LLewelyn Ryland and Scott Bader

Fair! My car is electric blue but I don't have any offcuts. I think @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman might have, when he reworked his scuttle bulkhead. That was a while ago though...
