Acapulco Blue

[wjbrandel]

I am going to be starting a 1967 shelby and I want to paint it acapulco blue, however I can't find that color without buying a gallon of it. Can anyone help me with the mix or know where I can get just a small amount (about 2 oz). I can't even find a paint chip of it and I don't trust the color sample I found online-it looks like it was created digitally and I don't know how accurate it would be.

Thanks in advance for any help

There ain't no paint standard for these names .
I think you should be able to find what will work for you within the 329 blues offered here : https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catag...&t=1&u=1&pg=1&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber&so=a&co=5

Pick the ones that you think will be closest --- you can always mix colors to get what you want .

You're not looking very hard. Paintref.com has paint chip pages for virtually any make/model known to man. This is the PPG/Ditzler page for 1967 Mustang/Fairlane/Falcon



Scale Finishes makes Acapulco Blue paint. Scale finishes paints are dead on matches of OEM colors.

Duplicolor makes an Acapulco blue spray in their 'touch-up' line of acrylic enamel spray paint. Pep boys, Princess auto, Canadian Tire, Napa, O'Reilly's..any auto repair store carries the brand.

MCW finishes is your best bet... average price per bottle is $6 -$7. Still a bargain for correct matching colors for all years of automobiles.
