I wouldn't ask the painter to paint it "Guardsman Blue" based on that information. It might not look like what you expected it to look like.

If I might suggest....look for a colour on a modern car that looks like the blue that you want , then go to a sales outlet that sells that car (or ask an owner) and obtain the colour code details. Then you will know exactly what colour you will be getting.

I looked for colour code details for Viking Blue for my FIA replica, and ended up getting the paint code from a car that I thought looked the closest to Viking Blue, and it turned out to be at least as good (if not better) than my expectations.

Good luck!
Glen
