Take your fuel flap off,cut and polish it then take it to your paint supplier and they'll match it perfectly.

to narrow it down its not crystal blue

 

edit, under the bonnet on the slam panel there should be a plate that says the colour of the car

 

mine says krystal blau which i think is germal or something, but that should be the easiest way of finding out

Mineral blue? there might be a label in the boot by the boot catch.

On 28 specials, mineral blue was only ever used in 2 tone paint jobs. Blue over silver infact. It's a quite dark blue too, darker than crystal blue.

Thats Paris blue you have there mate. AND Paris blue was always over the whole car (like yours) and not used in 2 tone colour schemes.

 

 

God, I sound like a right anorak..
