What year motor? If it's for the metalic blue(67 thru 70 I think) Napa has a Martin Senior paint that I've used, and had good luck with.

PY & Ames should sell the correct '71 to mid '73 blue, might ck their catalogues. Over the last 12 years several of us have had it mixed & put in spraycans. I have quit doing so, as we are now shooting this color & the late '73-74 color out of a gun.

You can contact Scott Tiemann at:

Supercar Specialties
11817 E. Grand River
Portland, Michigan 48875
(517) 647-2433

The price may have changed since I bought my paint a year ago, but Scott sold me a quart of PPG enamel in the correct color for $25.00 plus postage.

Hope this helps.

I found a ppg formula awhile back on this color and talked to my paint man and he said he could mix it for me. I still have the formula for a quart mix if you're interested.
