Default Paint Colour

Hi Guys, just need to use one of your know how and experience to pick the correct paint colour.

I need to get hold of something as near as possible to Ford's Performance Blue. It's a strange one as in some light its almost purple.

Any ideas?

As Matt says, translucent blue backed with course silver, then black.

If you have time, go along to a ford dealer and see if they have a book with colour chips of that model in. Then go to your LHS and see what looks close. It's a pearlescent blue with a purple flip, see if you can find an Aerosol described similar. There must be something out there that's close to it.
