    Anyone know what color this is?

    Guessing it’s probably proprietary paint, but I really like this color combo. Is there a close match anyone knows of?

    Thanks

    I was in the Superformance dealership in Irvine, CA (Hillbank Motorsport) with a friend looking to buy, not build. They called it Ford Navy but didn't have a paint code. They said they could ask the factory but I didn't pursue it.

    I chose Toyota Spectra Blue PPG 5437 and PPG 400 white. I think it is in the same family of blue but has a little more life/depth.

    Superformance gave me the color chart in 2013.

    There are several blues on the sheet that I have.

    Here is what it says for Navy Blue:

    Superformance / PPG Code - MKIII Created Navy Hi tech 2007 code PPG 18324
    Glasurit CPS2 Profit code - MB993.50

    Thanks guys that helps a lot. There are so many blues to choose from! It’s proven to be a difficult choice for me and I’m sure many others. I really like that blue you had in the photo too. Nice choice.

    I think the original color is Daytona Blue. PPG/Ditzler code is 12696. But it's hard to tell, to be honest.

    Could be Ford Royal Blue w/ GM Arctic White stripes . . . like mine.



    But seems to be darker with more silver in the mix - like the Lexus Indigo Blue.

    FWIW, computer monitors will play tricks on your eyes so the answer is only a "best-guess".

    Absolutely!!! I have 3 monitors at work (yes, I'm a nerd) and the colors are a little different on each one. The best thing you can do is actually see a Cobra in the color that you are thinking. Even then, the lighting can make drastic differences, just to keep you guessing.
