Title: Paint for my Vette !!!!
Post by: mick on April 01, 2005, 06:08:43 PM

Does anyone know where I can get hold of original paint chips/codes (bloody anything) for Le mans blue, an original C3 colour also used on the Baldwin motion vette's which I am basing mine on (except for those horrible lights) . But I cant give to much away yet or it wont be a suprise when i turn up to my first event.

 I have exhausted all avenues no one these days wants to help you unless its easy and they can make lots of money from you, all the paint places I went too just didnt want to know about it, cause it was too hard.

Thanks

According to this (http://www.gmdownunder.com/9297-68vet.html), 1968 Le Mans blue paint code is 975.

Some of the parts suppliers in the US have paint chip brochures for C3's,but I cant remember who??? If I come across it I'll post it. Also I think I have seen them on EBay?
