Hey chaps, I was wondering if anyone could give me a paint code for RAF blue, obviously Royal Air Force vehicles including old landys etc used this colour but googling just isnt getting me any paint codes and I need to get me some mixed.
Any help very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Mick.

Thanks for the offer Russell, but my car is being sprayed by a mate with a booth who just needs a colour code to match it and have a batch mixed up, I shall bare you in mind though as I have a trailor project on the horizon I'm not 100% sure, looking at some google pictures that the land rover "Air Force Blue" is what I'm after, the one I want was used for old RAF staff cars and the like. this is the kind of colour:

It's a pricey way of doing it though, when I had the idea people re-assured me it was a good common colour I would have no trouble getting hold of, as i am restoring on a ridiculously tight budget I thought this was ideal Failing anything else I will just have to go for a close match, but as an RAF collector who does lots of events relating to that I would really like the colour to be spot on
