Take it in to a paint shop and they will use the spectrophotometer to match it for you.

Place I use will mix the paint then I apply it and if it isn't right I take the part I've painted to show them it's too dark or too light and they correct it for me, it's part of the service. The bonnet is not near any other blue parts so a slight difference would not stand out or you could paint the front cycle wings at the same time so they will be a match.

good ideas, but this bring us no further....i should have at least a paint-code.

phoenix bodies from that period match with regatta-blue from opel /vauxhall
