Wedgewood Alpine

[bbonner]

My car was originally Wedgewood blue. Does anyone have one that color to show me what it looks like? Also can you still go to a auto paint shop and get that color? Are the paint codes under the hood like the American cars? I have the color codes from the site but want to be sure that was the color of my car originally. I know it was a blue kind of light in color.

JumpinJan can provide a CDsize color chip. Some can be found as standard colors for other cars, some can be found close, come custom mixed.

Bev, the backside of the hood latch panel is painted the body color and if it is the original panel, works great as a color sample. This is the one under the hood that the latch mechanism mounts to. They are usually pretty easy to remove.

The paint industry no longer uses the pigments used 40 years ago, so the color codes are of little value when color matching.

Very nice I just heard that you cannot buy the original wedgewood as the paint has changed in 40 years. How did you come up with the color and who mixed it.
