What is this color? Code?

[aircoolerej]

MMC's bus is the spitting image of our old '70 Deluxe we miss. I may paint my Bay to match it for her. What color is this blue?

Thanx for the help!

Interesting question - could be one of a few...

L50H Brillian Blue?
L53H Orient Blue?
L57H Reef Blue?

L633 VW Blue?

Looks like Neptune Blue, but that was only used on 64-66 splits, so I'm going to guess Pastel Blue, color code L52H.

So when are you going to check that M-Code plate??

My cross over is Neptune Blue L50K.

Looks like Neptune Blue.

Have you checked behind passenger seat for sticker (paint code) or Vin plate again behind passenger seat?

 

[Justin & Muttley]

My cross over is Neptune Blue L50K.

Looks like Neptune Blue.

My crossover is Neptune Blue too! I didn't think it looked like Neptune Blue - mind you, my bus hasn't been polished for about 10 years!!!
