Default Nassau Blue Paint Code

Does anyone know the paint code for Nassau Blue? I just took a piece to the body shop and gave them the paint code 23 and the part came back too dark.

Default Paint Code 23

When you take the part you want painted to your body shop make sure you take the car as well. With a good body shop they will have a light that will help them match your perfect shade of Nassau Blue. My body guy did that on my vehicle. You would be amazed how different the color can come out without using a special paint light.

This shop could be a bit far for you but I'm sure Glen, who is a friend on mine could match it up. He painted my wifes Jag and I'm still impressed the way it looks, when its comes time to paint the Vet he will do it. Tell him Martin sent you.

I saw this site and as stated above, it is listed as bright blue metallic. After a little research I found out that there are actually three different blues under under GM code23. WONDERFUL! I would have thought the body shop would have brought this up.

Thanks for the info. I've had some bad experiences with body shops!
