Hey thats a thing where is spellbot lol

I dont think they have a colour chart as such jack as we always look up the colourcode via the chassis number and just order the appropriate touch up or paint.

Maybe a bodyshop supplies place could be of more help but that will mean going out into the real world though haha!

Its often referred to as "paint chit" so neerrr :p

Spud, aye I thought you'd reply. I have a feeling its an old colour though, its almost like Myoso-something blue (used on old Renaults and Citroens) but a bit lighter. I did ask Rexy a while back but he can't remember the exact name or code of it, and the tin with a little spare only mentions its a Renault colour. Actually... I'm sure I've seen some Renault Master vans painted in a similar colour... Don't suppose you know what colours they came in?

I'm trying to avoid using a bodyshop to match the paint as most round here are colourblind, or will charge me through the nose for it :( The amount I have spare would do for a few little bits perhaps, but then I'd need a spray kit to use it with...

Mm, hence my comment about Renault Master vans.

Hmm, on second thoughts that looks too dark. Dauphine...

Again, looks a touch too dark. the Citroen colour I found was Bleu Myosotis, but this came out too dark as well. I did find this pic:

...thinking that was the Blue Myosotis colour, but I don't think it is. However that one does look very similar to the shade of blue I have.

BTW, despite popular belief, its not vw baby blue :p

[edit] its not the clio blue either, thats too dark as well

Nope, too vivid/dark.

Did find this (http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=48989) though:

Thats looks suspiciously like the colour


[edit] And another A110:

Does seem to be an A110 colour...

alpine bleu matey. if you have some paint left take it and get it matched....

Jack

Bleu Alpine is a metallic.

Didn't want to get it matched until as a last ditch attempt as I'd rather just be able to buy an off the shelf paint to match it. Plus as said the local bodyshops are either tres expensivé or colourblind.

I would, but at the moment I don't have the money for a full body respray (the sills and rear quarters would need replacing too really).

TBH that was actually pretty tame. Externally it looked good, wasn't too keen on the mahoosive tv and the chill thing, but otherwise pretty good
