Hi guys  ;)

Could you tell me if you know a paint supplier in the States that sells custom bombs.  :thinking:

I would have some editing to do in some places hardly visible in Bright blue metallic.

In France I do not find anyone who offers bombs of this hue.

Thank you for your answers  :bigthumb:

It looks like a custom mix colour.

In France they must have automotive paint supply stores. Stores that supply body shops and such. Typically those places can do a custom mix and put it into a spray bomb for you. They would have to scan the can to get a good match. :alan2cents:

 :wrenching: Could be a House of Kolor candy blue hue.

Any chance of getting ahold of the builder to see what was sprayed on the car?

I needed some paint for my 64 a while ago. I just went to an automotive paint supplier and they scanned the colour on the car. The match was dead on.

Could be a million different shades of blue...best bet is to find a proper supply store to scan the colour. :alan2cents:

Thank's but I do not have the color code and nor a can with the rest to this paint.

When I bought my car, the paint was lihe that.

In France, it is not really easy to find a person with the materiel to scan a paint (It is really expensive).

This is my big problem because I live in a little village.  :)

I agree with you, the best way will be to scan the paint.

I thought this color was a American color...create by an American person. ;)

To tell the truth, I did not try to contact the former owner.
I bought the car from SOUTHERN MOTORS.
Is the last owner the one on the title?

Yes the last owner is named on the title! what other paper work do you have? what state is the title from?

If I understand every thing, the title came from Pennsylvania.

Colors seem similar but mine change with the light.

does anyone know:
Jeff Rebich from Aliquippa, PA  :idea: he might know what color it was painted

It's done, I sent a FB invitation to Jeff.  ;)

I have a lot but really a lot of questions about B-BLUE (Cuda kick name by my wife)  :yes:

News about the B-BLUE color  ;)

I wrote to the last owner (Thank's Facebook), he didn't know exactly the actual composition but he is sure it is a B5 BLUE with just a little bit more black.

He kept the car only for a year. He sold it for a health reason.

He did not restore the Cuda.

He will look if he still has the name of the owner before him to possibly communicate it to me.

He bought it one year after the restoration.

I finally found someone near me who will scan the color to know its real composition.
