Looking good!
Not an OEM Type 3 color, but wasn't there a similar color for Type 4 cars? |

Since it's a custom mix it has no name. But I have the paint code in case I need more.

I was thinking that it looked a lot like my Notch in color. Mine's a BMW color though. A slightly darker blue.
Looks damn good though.  _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

I def like your notch. I'm red/green color-blind so I probably see it a little different than you do.

Our paint guy found a European Ford color which we doctored to reduce the size of the flakes. I'll see if I can find the name. |
When in doubt, always add More flake  _________________ http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/jim_martin_engine_build.php

Reminds me of the Marina Blue on Chevelles, but I'm color blind too.  _________________ https://imgur.com/user/FisherSquareback/posts
