Not to start a whole other discussion but I went to the paint supplier and had a cavalry blue sample. I went outside in the sunlight and it was waaaay darker than that lol. What a pain!
interesting. But what about the sports that are on the lots that are Brittany blue-like? Do you think its not a production color? aren't the sports on the lots to be sold?
"It does look different wet"..Thats what she said! lol
Omg maybe on light primer with clear it actually turns into the right color because ethats the same color (as best as I can tell) that my paint is wet. Really weird. But thanks for the huge effort. Love the RC.
So I just called automotive touch up and they are saying their formula has yellow and violet whereas the place I had mine mixed had just two blues. Sounds like a different formula. But keep in mind, my paint looks exactly like the dealers which is this color:
I like to look at the sky in photos to see how much saturation the camera added. Looks like it added quite a bit. I took the saturation down to what I’d say is a somewhat reasonable sky color..
Thanks for all of the replies. I like the idea that this will have a gray tone to it. But there is zero percent chance that the color sheet they have at the dealers, which matches the paint I have mixed up, turns into the baby blue in these pics. When I hold the lid up to my phone to compare...
Long story, bear with me. I’m rebuilding my 72 bronco. I’ve decided to paint it Area 51 based on all of the amazing photos floating around here. I call a Ford dealer and they give me the code “ku”. I call my local paint supply store and they say they have ku and it says it’s Area 51 by Ford...
