71 Bridgehampton Blue 979

[Craig H.]

Hi

i had a new hood for my vette painted recently and we had a Lot of trouble getting a formula to mix up Bridgehamptop Blue.

We are using Valspar De Beer paint and we have there code of L1945.

But Valspar in Australia say it's the correct code but can't give a formula to mix to.

In the end we used a spectrometer on existing colour and mixed to that but it's not 100%. The spectrometer said it was a modern Suzuki color.

we did not do any blending as I wanted to get it close as possible with just the Hood.

it looks fairly good but under flouros you can see some difference.

any one know the mixing formula for Valspar ?

I will think you will find that no modern paint formula will match the original color. Contact John Ballard in Louisville, KY he can help you with the ins and outs of adjusting paints to get the closest match with today's paints. Check your private messages for contact info.
