72-73 Interstate blue

How good is this!

I had a phone call from Angela Hemmings the other day to let me know that she had an original aerosol can of blue interstate paint!

Not only that, she sent it to me for the price of the postage only!

What service and what lovely people to deal with.

It made my day.

I will try to get it colour matched when the weather is better and get a code for future reference.

Sorry if this is repeating things, but has anyone found a good colour match for the late 750 and mk1 850interstates in blue?

French blue has been hinted at.

Has anyone got an original panel that can be matched?

Cheers

I have just bought an unused side panel in blue and will get it colour matched on friday hopefully.

The 850 mk1 has double pinstripes on the tank and the 750 has a thicker single pin stripe to the best of my knowledge.

Attached picture of my mk1 850 with too dark paint.

I was about to ask the same question about the correct paint code for interstate blue,Im also rebuilding a 1974 750 interstate.The tankand side panels are blue but not in very good condition,in need of a respray. has any body come up with a paint code for the blue, and secondlydid the side panels have the commando decals on and was there any pin stripes on the tank, can`t see any sign of any.

Thanks Russ
