Re: is this the factory blue?

I think it is, but because of lighting in the shade of the day it's hard to tell, my paint code is 542 white/medium blue. Good luck with you choice of colors

Re: is this the factory blue?

1st pic in the thread - I would bet a custom blend of blue. Not dark enough to be dark blue - and too dark/in your face to be light blue. My 2 cents.

If you're doing a factory re-paint, I'd just give them the code and run with it. If you are wanting to duplicate the picture you posted, I'd take it to the painter and see what he thinks. Does not look like a factory color to me.

Factory colors to my knowledge were:
Hawaiin Blue (shows as Med Blue - Code 510)
Mariner Blue (shows as Dk Blue - Code 523)

Rene - I didn't see a 542, which I know indicates 2-tone, but I couldn't find a blue with matching numbers or even 1st/3rd numbers for two tone, etc. I may have some bad gouge!

IF the 1st pic is a factory color, it'd be the med blue.
