Body Colour help

[joemungus]

Have finally booked the bus in for a respray and was after some help identifying what colour my bus is and what colour combinations are appropriate for the year! (1971)
I think the best match is Neptune blue, this is not the original colour (it was green).

A respray, why, it looks fine to me. :roll:

Personally I'd stick with the Neptune blue/white, looks great on a deluxe

Cheers guys, do you agree/think it is currently Neptune blue then?

Think i will probably stick with the current colour scheme, it's being resprayed because of lots of small sections that are bubbling up, plus battery tray and front screen surround are being done.

Started thinking i would just get them done but by the time i went round the whole bus it ended up being ever panel apart from 1 including the roof. So full respray it is! Just hope it comes back looking the same colour as it does!

Are you sure thats Neptune, its looks more like Niagara Blue to me (could be wrong though)

Me too. Looks like Niagra.

Agree with all the other comments too. Bus looks very nice as it is.

Apologises for posting a non related link to your paint query. Clearly didn't check :roll:
Should have been the link posted by Bay-low71 above
