    Anybody know whos car this is?

    Trying to find paint cods for the light blue with silver stripes cobra on this photography page. Anyone know the owner or paint codes?

    Also is there a way to cross reference the Factory five/Sherwin William's paint codes? My painter doesn't use that brand but my customer wants his car painted
    vintage race blue with Iridium silver stripes.

    Thanks Mike

    Mike,

    That car appeared in a magazine in I think 2014 or 2015. From the article it is a mid 80s Porsche Iris Blue. Later Porsche Iris blue is much darker so you need to go back to around 1985/86.

    I really liked the color as well, so that's why I did the research.

    Ford Viking blue, BMW Titan silver or MBZ Iridium silver. Picture could be one of many, good of a guess as any.....unless the owner chimes in.

    The owner is Jeff Munson, husband of the photographer Jennifer Munson. The color is identified as Porsche Iris blue in this article by the owner in Kit Car builder magazine on pages 46-49.

    https://view.flipdocs.com/?ID=10011589_289888#48

    EDIT: The next article in the same magazine, pages 50-56 ? is about Jennifer Munson's photography with an email address and a phone number.

    Not sure it's titanium silver. My 540 is that color which is paint code 354.
    BMW had a few silvers, artic silver was another, a little darker than titanium silver.
