LGreen Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 check out sapphire (sap-phire incase stupid spell checker) blue was on some mk1s i believe. paint code is somthing very basic like 1 or 0. LG
Admin Vista Posted February 5, 2013 Admin Report Posted February 5, 2013 Can you post up a photo of the car? There is a light blue colour I'm sure is called Hell blue. Here it is on a mk2 Cortina owned by forum member Hellblue Edit: it was available from Ford Europe from 67 - 71 was known as Hell Blue in Germany but bright blue in the UK http://cdb.shcolor.info/en/AdvancedSearch.mvc/grid?powerSearchKeys=hell%20blue&databaseType=official
sidpf1972 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 photos arnt the best but this is the car in question
Admin Vista Posted February 5, 2013 Admin Report Posted February 5, 2013 Looks the same colour to me.
rallyesport04 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 looks the same colour as the mk1 in that film guest house paradisso no help i know but maybe some one knows the real car i mean
lead foot Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 There is another blue that is dirtier/greyer than lagoon but I don't know what its called and it was on a few mk2s
sidpf1972 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 At last I found the colour for my mk1 it's called diamond blue.
SmokeEm Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Whatever happened to Hellblue? One talented guy.
