Hi all,

Firstly my apologies for not seeing this Thread. PM me if you need more detail.

Re the Guradsman Blue...

I spoke with Kris K. at Shelby when I was considering the Guardsman Blue colour.

Kris kindly sent me some details and I was able to match the colour to that colour that CS used on the 427 re build.

Here are a few photos from my gallery.

I used a pure GM white stripe rather than the Wimbledon white that was my Mustang colour.











You can see the colour change under cover and different conditiions













The PPG code above is the same that I worked with. The white stripes are GM white. As I mentionned in my PM to you Paul - I did not use the wimbledon white - that I had left over from the Musdtang as I felt it looked a little to cream in colour with the Guardsman Blue.

The Rookie stripes are Porsche Fly yellow - a PPG colour. They are available from Enzo at Finishline in a static cling stripe.

Good luck with your painting.

Again sorry I did not see the Thread earlier. To busy looking after my friend Hershal from Az. - see his 'Post' on the 'Australian Forum'

You can see how busy we were..

Bernie
