Default Marina Blue paint?

I'm restoring a 67' Marina Blue coupe. I'm having trouble finding an exact match for the color. Does anyone have the PPG or DuPont code or mixture for a "correct" Marina Blue? Thanks

There probably is no "correct" match, even if you find it in lacquer, so use your best offset. PPG usually does a pretty good job of supplying an offset color. If you can find a car done in what you think is the correct color, you can take that to the paint store for a computer match, but dont hold you breath for anything exact even then.

Dupont has formulas for their latest paints for the original colors. The new paints use the same codes as the old. I have a chart somewhere, and will post the 67 Marina Blue's code as an edit here later.
