MG MGA - Glacier Blue Paint Code/Mix

I've got the body off my MGA and preparing it for changing the color from red to Glacier Blue, which I've always admired. I greatly appreciate having the Glacier Blue paint codes which are now being used, along with a photo of the results.

I've found old codes for this color, which the paint suppliers don't seem to be able to work with. I'm planning to using BASF 55 Line paint, or perhaps PPG.

Charlie, While you're waiting for a reply it might be worth your while searching the Archives if you have not done so already (try 'glacier blue' - there's a ton of information which will keep you busy all night! ....................mike

Thanks Mike, I did look at the Archives, and will do so again, but did not find any paint formulas.

Mike, I did locate a formula in the archive -- PPG 14035 and will ask my paint supplier if he can use that identifier to mix paint for me.
